The Baptist Way:
A Personal Perspective – Dr. Charles S. Kelley
The following link will take you directly to “The
Baptist Way: A Personal Perspective,” a paper delivered
during a September 4, 2003 convocation address to the faculty, staff
and students of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary by its
president, Dr. Charles S. Kelley. The paper is included here because
it contains Dr. Kelley’s opinion of how Sole Membership relates
to and may affect Southern Baptist polity and history. It first
appeared, and is still posted, on the "Articles and Essays"
portion of the seminary's Baptist Center for Theology and Ministry
website. It is linked here by permission.
Due in part to
the difficulties resulting from Hurricane Katrina, the website on
which this article resides is currently unavailable.

About
the SBC 
"There
should be an 'Abstract of Principles', or careful statement of theological
belief, which every professor in such an institution must sign when
inaugurated, so as to guard against the rise of erroneous and injurious
instruction in such a seat of sacred learning."
