Why Frank Lewis is Excited About the New Baptist Covenant

The November issue of the Baptist Studies Bulletin has published an essay by Frank Lewis, pastor of First Baptist Church of Indianapolis, expressing his excited about the Celebration of a New Baptist Covenant. Here's a quote:

I am excited about participating in a Baptist event that is cooperative, uniting and engaging. Those are not descriptive words for many of the kinds of Baptist events I have been a part of. I look forward to being part of a new kind of Baptist witness. I look forward to celebrating the ties that bind us. I look forward to the diversity of Baptist denominational groups who will be present. Perhaps we as Baptists are entering a new day.
