::I'm not familiar with the public school motion that you mention, but would be interested in reading about it if you could provide a link. I can say though that in my experience, Baptist preachers have discouraged homeschooling and private schooling, because they believe that evangelism thrives on Christians living and working among the unsaved, not by cloistering themselves with the like-minded. As the primary importance of evangelism is one thing that Baptists can all agree upon, this decision does not seem unusual. [[User:JDWpianist|JDWpianist]] 08:25, 25 June 2009 (EDT)

:::You make some interesting points, and I have an open mind about it.  But politics cuts deeper for many people.  Many in the SBC support Obama, and he's receiving a special tribute this month from them.  SBC leadership shut down a movement by conservatives to have an exodus from public schools.  The current leader seems to be liberal-leaning in his approach.  If the SBC took a strong stand this month against same-sex marriage, I missed it.

:::The bottom line is that most people care a lot more about politics than about doctrinal disputes over baptism.  Jimmy Carter didn't leave the SBC over a fine theological point.

:::Liberals try to invade and transform churches, and the list of examples is too long to provide here.  SBC leadership is taking it down that road, and membership decline is the hefty toll.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 14:11, 25 June 2009 (EDT)
