TEXAS BAPTIST FORUM:
Focus on family issues

I am writing in response to Ben Macklin's letter (May 12) expressing concerns about non-Southern Baptists preaching at the Pastors' Conference, June 15-16 in Phoenix.

He states, “Our Cooperative Program dollars given to the SBC should not fund a single non-Baptist. Period!” He has nothing to worry about. The Pastors' Confe

rence is funded solely through the offerings collected at the conference, product sales of recorded sermons, and the hosting church, in this case, First Baptist in Dallas.

I encourage Texas Baptists to attend. This year's conference will focus on family issues, particularly ministering to ministers' families.
