How do progressive Christians engage fellow Christians on Twitter? With insults. That is how a CRU employee engaged with Dr. Tom Ascol in a Twitter exchange Sunday evening. Dr. Ascol is a prominent, respected leader in the Southern Baptist Convention. He heads up the Calvinist organization Founders. Dr. Ascol penned a blog last week about a question he had regarding the ERLC’s involvement in the MLK Conference. Unfortunately, some progressives didn’t like the question.
You can read Dr. Ascol’s blog post here, and his question about the propriety of the ERLC’s conference and the inconsistency of its leadership on issues of women abusers.
