Not all o fthe SBC was/is conservative.
One of the most outspoken and legendary liberals in Southern Baptist life has died.This guy was someone my step-grandfather would speak of. And the Barth quotation is magical to me.William Wallace Finlator "thought the German theologian Karl Barth was right that a preacher should preach with a Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other," his son, Raleigh, N.C., lawyer Wallace Finlator Jr., told the Raleigh News & Observer. "He thought of himself as imitating Jesus, and trying to bring justice to the poor and peace to the world."(link)
Peace and all good things to you, Pastor. May God receive you in Love and uphold your family in their grief.
