Today, Wade Burleson endorsed Frank Page of South Carolina (whose hometown is in Greensboro) for the Presidency of the Southern Baptist Convention. In conveying his support to Page, Wade said in part:
"Frank Page is supported by those who believe that it is time for our convention to be led by people who support the Cooperative Program. His church, giving over 12% to the CP and a record dollar amount in the history of the South Carolina Conveniton, is a model of CP support.
For that reason alone, and trusting in his personal pledge to me to appoint a broad section of Southern Baptists, I believe Frank Page is the best candidate of the three.
I am grateful our convention has a choice this year.
It should be interesting." (Grace and Truth to You, Tuesday, June 6, 2006)
In His Grace and Peace,
