Baptists of the Year

Ethics Daily has announced their choice of “Baptists of the Year”—Lebanese Baptists. In particular, they singled out Martin Accad, who wrote a few pieces for them during the summer conflict in that Lebanon. It is an excellent choice since Accad and others worked hard this year to teach Christians the importance of looking at the complexity of the Middle East situation and not just blindly support Israel. Congrats to them! Hopefully, more Christians will tackle the difficult issues and work to see all sides of an issue in order to learn how God would really want us to respond. By the way, my contribution on this issue at Ethics Daily was a column entitled “The John Hagee Filter.”
