Denominational News of Note
╬ Southern Baptist churches declined in membership and donations to missions last year. Sunday School enrollment dropped slightly also. The Convention’s annual meeting is scheduled for June 15-16 in Orlando.

╬The Georgia Baptist Convention plans to disfellowship Druid Hills Baptist Church in Atlanta for calling a female co-pastor. After excommunicating the church, the GBC will no longer accept funds from the 96 year old congregation. Interestingly, it will not return the money the church has given to the GBC since Mimi and Graham Walker began serving in 2008.
