Rodney, I have been following the drama in Missouri for some time now, and have had a number of conversations with pastors and church members from that convention. I really do not intend to attack a man (part of why I did not use his name). I do not think I said anything here that isn't already known (this guy's issue with The Journey), or what isn't out there (his words at the Executive Committee). Here's how I see the whole thing. Moran takes a point of personal privilege at that meeting to speak to a referral/motion. It's nothing really. Just one man's thoughts as he tries to connect dots that do not exist. But when he brought Ed Stetzer into this, and cast him in an unfavorable light I thought it was important to set the record straight - as much as possible - concerning what Ed is all about. This was more about the idea of guilt by association and getting the truth out there about one of our greatest missionary thinkers.

Those of us in Missouri have had to suffer through Moran’s nonsense for years. He is greatly responsible for much of the mess that we are in, and he has frequently twisted the facts and used guilt-by-association attacks to defame his brothers and sisters in Christ. Perhaps Moran should worry less about the specks in other people’s eyes, and deal with the plank in his own (to learn more about Moran, click <a href="http://missouribaptists.org/truth.asp" rel="nofollow">here</a>). As for Rodney’s attack on your post, do not let that bother you because he has also been part of the problem. He has also made inaccurate and unethical guilt-by-association attacks on fellow Baptists (see more <a href="http://forgodssakeshutup.blogspot.com/2007/02/more-nonsense.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>).
