Comments on: The GCR as it relates to Evangelical Maverickism http://evangelicalmavericks.com/?p=926 { A Blog Exploring Evangelicalism } Sun, 20 Jun 2010 22:58:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Chris Garner http://evangelicalmavericks.com/?p=926&cpage=1#comment-798 Chris Garner Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:08:21 +0000 http://evangelicalmavericks.com/?p=926#comment-798 I would reply, but I think Brady covered it. I would add this one point for clarification, SB churches don't "pay dues." They give whatever amount they see fit (preferably 10%) to the cooperative program for the purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission. The SBC is a community of churches working together, not a club.

You are saying that if all churches are independent and disconnected, then it follows that no one can be a maverick because everyone already is? Second thought, although Baptist churches may be "autonomous", that does not been they do not have confessional identity. Although many Baptist may not claim this heritage, it is not incongruent with Baptist life to do so. Adam Vos, let me see if I follow.

If each church is autonomous, with the exception of paying dues to the Convention, and if each Southern Baptist does his own thing, nobody is a maverick. In other words, the SBC is a very mixed bag. Everyone is different from everyone else. There may be a legitimate reference point which would justify the claim that Akin is a maverick, but it isn't the SBC. It's no big deal, I just wanted to get warmed up for my blogging career :) I’m not sure that a maverick could ever be in the SBC.
