I found it interesting looking at the list of exhibitors for the upcoming Baptist General Convention of Texas annual meeting.
What I found even more interesting is who was not listed.

"Jesus tells us not to fear those who can destroy the body, but those who can destroy body and soul. And part of the sickness of spirit we feel when confronted with terrorism is that we face people whose souls are damaged, almost destroyed."
Rowan Williams
Archbishop of Canterbury (RNS)"You are not an accident. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He wanted you alive and created you for a purpose. … Only in God do we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny."
Rick Warren
Pastor and best-selling author of The Purpose Driven Life, quoted on a Starbucks coffee cup (RNS/ USA Today)"Ooh, it was so much fun. I think I'm alive."
Thomas Rice
Pastor of First Baptist Church in Agawam, Mass., after skydiving to illustrate a sermon on trusting God and overcoming fear (RNS)"We actually went through two cloud layers. He was closer to God than ever before."
