If you’re a progressive Baptist and feeling out of place there is a home for you.  The Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America is a group that “gathers, equips and mobilizes Baptists to build a culture of peace rooted in justice.”  The world needs more folks like these.  They’ll be holding their annual conference in McMinnville, Oregon on the campus of Linfield College on August 1 -6, 2005.  My step-father, Dr. John Thomas, happens to teach at Linfield.  Marcus Borg will be the keynote speaker at their conference.
