For over fifty years I had been hoping something like this would happen!
I grew up a Southern Baptist and, in seminary, chose to become an American Baptist. All though my years I have hoped and prayed that we would stop fighting the civil war and become one unifying factor for Christ in America.
I was beginning to think I would not live to see this happen.
I am looking forward to meeting cousins I have never met and to hear where and how we can be cooperative and live as brothers and sisters in Christ.
My wife, LaVerne, and our daughter, Paula, share this hope and will be coming with me.
My prayer is that this will be more than a one time event and that "Baptist UNITY in Seeking Peace with Justice" will become an ongoing reality.
