Southern Baptist Convention: Page names advisory team on Calvinism


Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee President Frank Page has announced the members of an advisory team who will help him craft a strategic plan to bring together various groups within the convention who hold different opinions on the issue of Calvinism.

The 16-member group will conduct its first meeting Aug. 29-30 in Nashville, Tenn.

"My goal is to develop a strategy whereby people of various theological persuasions can purposely work together in missions and evangelism," Page told Baptist Press. The list was announced Tuesday (Aug. 15).
