a conference in St. Joseph for young Pastors. I feel your cynicism.
Why was I there? They asked me to come as a sign of support and
encouragement. I did both.
We are now journeying toward New Bloomfield MO. It's near Jefferson
City. The Missouri Baptist Convention was founded 175 years ago today
at Providence Baptist Church in New Bloomfield.
The church still exists. Several of us are converging there at 10
a.m. to relive the moment. It's a demisemiseptcentennial celebration.
Ruth was not thrilled about getting up so early. I reminded her this
happens only once every 175 years. She asked, "Couldn't we go next
time?"
