2009-06-04 : CEANet2036: SBC is Taking a New Direction in Education
What follows is Exodus Mandate's press release regarding Dr. Morris
Chapman's call for a radical expansion of Christian k-12 education
by the SBC. Because Dr. Chapman is effectively the CEO of the
SBC, this means that action will be taken (note that this is vastly
more important than passing a resolution - it is a call to action
by someone who can make that action happen).

: The Southern Baptist Convention is Finally 'Throwing in the
Towel' on Government Schools -- COLUMBIA, SC, June 2 /Christian
Newswire/ -- In 2004 Brig. Gen. T.C. Pinckney, USAF Ret. and former
2nd Vice President of the SBC, and Dr. Bruce Shortt, Houston attorney,
opened a debate over education by submitting a resolution to the
Annual Meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention urging Baptists
to remove their children from government schools and, instead,
give them a Christian education. Although the Pinckney/Shortt
Resolution was met with howls of execration from many Christian
leaders, and the Resolutions Committee prevented it from being
voted on by the Annual Meeting, the Resolution initiated an important
debate over education, both inside and outside the SBC.

: A case for Christian elementary and secondary schools --
By Morris H. Chapman
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--I am truly amazed at the excellence of
many of our Christian colleges and universities. I serve as a
trustee of Union University in Jackson, Tenn., and we have remarkable
students from around the world and a first-class faculty to train
them. Several times throughout the year we send out graduates
who will elevate the professionalism in their respective fields
but also who will transform the world with the message of the
Gospel.

"... but to
be certain not to abandon our biblical responsibility to
come alongside parents in training up a child in the way he should
go. Can we ignore the enormity of this need
any longer when our children so desperately need to be fortified
with strong biblical precepts as well as history, grammar, literature,
civics, math and science? In recent days, two questions
have weighed heavily on my soul. If Southern Baptists don't do
it, who will? If we don't do it now, do
we risk forever losing the opportunity to build schools for God's
glory and the future of our children, grandchildren and the land
we love?"

Dobson : “And
now we are absolutely awash in evil and the battle is still to
be waged, and we are right now in the most discouraging period
of that long conflict. Humanly speaking we can say that we have
lost all those battles.”
Moore has a simple plan for Focus
on the Family, and others to get back on track. ...
Moore is calling on “all families,
churches, pastors, major Christian ministries and organizations,
to concentrate for one year on extracting Christian children from
the pagan, godless public schools."
 Political
Pullback for the Christian Right?
By Kathleen Parker -- Sunday, April 5, 2009 -- Is the Christian
right finished as a political entity? Or, more to the point, are
principled Christians finished with politics? -- These questions
have been getting fresh air lately as frustrated conservative
Christians question the pragmatism -- defined as the compromising
of principles -- of the old guard. One might gently call the current
debate a generational rift.

: Christian Ministries Weak on K-12 Christian Education
in Exodus Mandate Report Card -- COLUMBIA, SC -- Chaplain
E. Ray Moore issued a Report Card at the National Religious Broadcasters
(NRB) in Nashville, Tennessee, on Feb 10, 2009, at a news conference,
on how effectively major Christian ministries and organizations
support K-12 Christian education or home schooling. Nine organizations
were rated, many of which have actively engaged in the cultural
war in the US for the past several decades. Moore said, "Even
though these organizations have been valiantly fighting the culture
war, they have suffered terrible defeats.
