Jimmy Carter Breaks with the Southern Baptist Convention
I've often wondered why he stayed so long given his outlooks on so many topics.

I think this essay asks many Christians to define for themselves why they do or do not stay within the denominations that form and inform their lives.

Given how long it has taken, his comments as well as his "decision" are at best underwhelming.
Well, I've been correct in another forum. Evidently he left the convention 6 years ago. I'm just a bit slow in picking it up!
