LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Southern Baptists are beginning their national assembly in Kentucky and are looking at ways to energize missionary efforts.
The two-day Southern Baptist Convention begins Tuesday. Church leaders are asking attendees to put aside squabbles over political and social issues and to take a look inward this year.
The convention won't escape politics altogether. One resolution asks the denomination to acknowledge the historical importance of President Barack Obama's electoral victory despite the convention's opposition to his policies.
