However, from what I have read concerning the GCR report I am very much unsatisfied with many of the proposals especially concerning NAMB and the relationship with pioneer states within the convention. I beleive it will be disasterous for work in our pioneer work states. Again I understand the full report isn't out but from what we have read I think the report is shortsighted and pretty much reflects the view of those with a Bible Belt background and lack of experience and understanding of poioneer work. I believe such a relationship as proposed will lead to a greater inequity within our convention between the strong Southern sates and those not traditionally Southern Baptist. I also think it will likely be detrimental to the Cooperative Program and that many non tradition states will end up reducing thier CP giving and retain more without the support agreemenst with NAMB. Being a Georgia native who has given 18+ years to work in this state there is a vast difference in the way things work outside the south where people have no idea who or what Southern Baptist are. And if I understand correctly the idea that bigger Southern state conventions are going to share their resources with pioneer areas is a pipe dream. Again while I agree with the need for repentance and turning I simply strongly diasagree with much of what I have heard about how this report recommends it take place.

Their will always be disagreement about how to stucture things, but their cannot be any disagreement regarding the need for repentance and a return to God in our churches. We pray that will remain a focal point as you proceed toward May and the issuing of the full report. God Bless Brother Ronnie,
