Roy Medley - Anticipation

I am filled with great anticipation as we go to the New Baptist Covenant meeting in Atlanta.

• It will be the most inclusive gathering of Baptists since the old Triennial Conventions of the 1800’s. We will meet cousins we didn’t even know we had!
• It will focus on what unites us, not what divides us.
• We will be challenged to consider more seriously how we understand Christ’s inaugural sermon and how we live it as our mandate for ministry and mission.
• Worship will be uplifting!
• Plenary speakers are outstanding Baptist laity and clergy living out our Luke 4 mandate.
  Workshops will provide opportunity for networking around ministries and interests.
• A closing ABC breakfast on Saturday, Feb 2 where we will hear from Neville Callam, the new General Secretary of BWA – over 400 of us have registered!
• An ongoing Season of Jubilee where Baptists will have the opportunity to participate firsthand in ministries with the poor, the dispossessed, and those who suffer.

Through this blog, you will be able to hear first-hand from ABC folk in attendance how the conference is expanding their understanding of what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ.
