The pastor led the effort while working hard to be fair and sensitive to those who opposed the building. That is the way leadership works. Virtually every Texas Baptist church has some members who support the BGCT and TBC and some who support the fundamentalist agenda. The strong pastors have clearly led their congregations to understand the issues facing the BGCT, stated their convictions, and respected and treated fairly those within the congregation who support fundamentalism. That is what being a leader is.
Integrity demands a response.
The same principle applies to other denominational leaders like director's of missions, institution presidents and Baptist Building employees. All should want broad support. All should operate out of fairness to every single Baptist church and individual. All leaders should seek to assist any Baptist church or individual regardless of how they feel about Baptist politics. But none should be neutral.
