Bridge-Building in the SBC

As a seminary student, I am very thankful for men like Tom Ascol, Alvin Reid, Nathan Finn, Daniel Akin, and Ed Stetzer (to name only a few) who exhibit biblical charity when dealing with issues that are, quite frankly, secondary. I am excited then by SEBT’s announcment today on their Between the Times blog that they will be conducting an “Exercise in Bridge-Building” over the next few days. To be honest, I’m tired of the ceaseless shouting-matches by the theological grown-ups. I’m glad some know how to disagree with biblical love and charity.
