Dan Vestal, Exec Coordinator Address; CBF, 6/25; Charlotte
Applying test to CBF. There is evidence of renewal in Baptist life. ‘Community’ is term used intentionally.
Nod to late Cecil Sherman, one of the organizers of CBF.
CBF has a task force to ask three questions: 1)what is best model of community to foster collaboration, as opposed to competition, between churches? 2)what is best way to focus and streamline organizational structures for local churches? 3)how can CBF get Baptist churches to be a part of this?
1 Cor 3.9—God’s servants working together. Fellowship defines identity and determines how we do missions—partnership. There mutuality of care for well-being of the other; no control, no institutional self-preservation. How can CBF live this out into the future? 1 Cor 3.9 is who we are. When we work out of who we are, there is natural and supernatural work happening.
