(BAPTIST PRESS) In his first television appearance since being named president-elect of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, Russell Moore was forthright in his positions but stressed the importance of Christians being Kingdom-minded in approaching issues.
Moore, who will officially begin June 1 with the SBC’s entity for moral and religious liberty concerns, was featured in a live segment of C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal.”
Moore, currently dean of the school of theology and senior vice president for academic administration at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., emphasized the importance of Christian believers recognizing they are facing “ultimately an optimistic scenario, not a pessimistic scenario.”
