Well not quite!but in the same way as I felt a little sorry for President Obama when he stepped into the White house at the beginning of this year I worry for the Baptist Assembly in Bournemouth this weekend. It really has little chance of delivering on all that everybody wants from it. The expectations placed upon its shoulders are probably unrealistic.
So expect lots of blog entries for the baptistosphere in the next few days saying what wasn't right or good ... arguments that such and such lacked an adequate theology ... debates over why there was no free coffee ... some will say that we heard too much about this and not enough about that ... its all too busy ... but we wanted more ... and to have it all over by Sunday night ... all of which may be justified criticisms that need to be genuinely listened to and reflected upon
but its not easy to please everyone all at once
even over a weekend
so let's not be too hasty to judge ...
lest we too ...
you know ...
perish the thought.
