Centrist Baptists? Who are They?

Robert Parham has written an editorial for EthicsDaily.com calling for Cenrist Baptists to begin blogging more diligently.

I lament the fact that so much of what we see from televangelists is fake and unnuanced and much of the time just downright mean-spirited. But perhaps that is what plays to the crowd, while the faithful take to more humble tasks like working for peace and caring for the sick.

I hope that more "Centrist Baptists" will come online to change the discourse of what it means to believe in Christ, that the darkness of this world might see the light of Christ's community, and not just a different shade of night. I think we can do this by following the insights Jerrod Hugenot, from the Roger Williams Fellowship, shared in his article Ethics of Blogging.

So, yes, let us "Centrist Baptists" blog on. But let us do it with humility and with the purposes of Christ and His kingdom in mind.
