Union University Presents: "Southern Baptists, Evangelicals, and the Future of Denominationalism"
This afternoon, I will be traveling to Jackson, TN to attend a conference at Union University: “Southern Baptists, Evangelicals, and the Future of Denominationalism.”
The publicity team at Union has graciously offered to host me this week as I live-blog each session. I am excited to see what this group of speakers will say about evangelicalism and the future.
Here’s what you can expect to find at Kingdom People as I live-blog this conference. I will write a separate post for each of the talks. The posts will be summaries, not exhaustive transcripts. (I am sure the audio from this conference will be up soon for those who don’t want to miss anything.) Here is what you will find in each post:
- Lecture title and speaker
- Short summary of the speaker’s basic point
- Very brief outline of the talk
- A few memorable quotes
- My reflections on the talk, including areas of agreement, disagreement, and unanswered questions
I will also be updating my Twitter regularly with information from the conference if you’d like to follow me there.

The live-blog begins tonight at 5:00 p.m. (CST) with Ed Stetzer tackling the question: “Denominationalism – Is There a Future?” Then, Jim Patterson will reflect on the 400th anniversary of the Baptist movement. I will be posting on these talks shortly after they are delivered.
