NEWS

Kentuckians Join Other Goodwill

Baptist In Visit To White HouseBy Bob Fox, Pastor, Faith Baptist Church, Georgetown*

White House Invitation: those were the three words on the subject line of the e-mail.

I didn't read it immediately, even though it was from Robert Parham (the director of

the Baptist Center For Ethics) so I knew it was something more important than the

usual Canadian pharmacy offers. But still, I expected it was some story about

someone else so I put off looking at it.

What a surprise it was when I finally dug to the bottom of the e-mail pile and found

that this was not someone else's story, but the beginning of a chapter in my story.

BCE and the D.C. Baptist Convention, I learned, had organized a meeting between

senior officials of the Obama administration and a group of some sixty Baptists with

concerns around social justice.

of emotional intelligence, discuss strategies for improving

emotional intelligence and discussions regarding the links

between it and family systems and conflict management

strategies.
