The Greensboro/Memphis Effect

Written By Tim Brister

Tim has a missionary heart for his hometown to love those close to him yet far from God. He is husband to Dusti and father to Nolan, Aiden, and Adelyn - fellow pilgrims to our celestial city.

I have modified my title by calling this the “Greensboro/Memphis Effect” rather than simply the “Greensboro Effect” because it looks as if some of these blogs were repulsed or received enough provocation to started blogging as a result of it and not only the Greensboro Annual Meeting. Granted, it could very well be that some below simply decided to get a blog during this time and had nothing to do with this “effect.” However, some have explicitly stated that the reason they have chosen to blog is due to this effect. With others it is more implicit as one can easily deduce from their blogs and content that the effect has caused such responses. Nevertheless, this compilation is just that. It isn’t a recommendation of these blogs (some I like and others I don’t). Therefore, take it for what it is.

In the future as blogs continue to roll in due to this Greensboro/Memphis Effect, I will add them to this list. On my sidebar to the right is my list of compilations in which this one will be included. Also, some of these bloggers are also professors in which I will update that compilation as well. It will be interesting to see whether this “effect” will be long-term or just a reflexive of Greensboro aftermath. Here they are and the dates of their first post:

  1. Timmy…your messages make me laugh!! …you’re cool too;)
    I had an incident w my phone (“Shocking” as someone we know and love would say), so I need you to leave me a message with yall’s #s. So glad you are back and tell Dusti I’ll call her as soon as I get my phone up and running again.
    Here is what I need for the paper: Materials pertinent to these questions:
    1. In what sense and on what basis has God created human beings to be free (politically and with respect to their religious pursuit)?
    2. What are the limitations God has placed on these freedoms, if any?
    3.What consequences result from violating these prescribed freedoms?

    This is the paper’s rough title:
    “Toward a Baptistic Definition of Human Freedom in Relation to Man’s Pursuit of Religion and to Government.”

    Let me know what you come up with! Thanks a million!
