GCR Clarifies the phrase "to look to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 as a sufficient guide

It does not mean it is a maximal document that precludes the convention from speaking to important issues that may arise, or our agencies addressing theological and practical issues specific to their context.  However, when the convention or an agency considers addressing an issue not covered in the Baptist Faith & Message, godly wisdom should be sought and we should be careful not to slide into either legalism or an abuse of our freedom in Christ.
