Building Bridges: Dockery and George booklet to be distributed in San Antonio
A Union University press release states that in San Antonio there will be distribution of a booklet called Building Bridges written by Union President David Dockery and Beeson President Timothy George.
From David Dockery:
“I truly think (and pray) that the little ‘Building Bridges’ booklet has an opportunity to be God’s instrument to help us move toward renewal, consensus, and cooperation. It is substantive enough that it help us understand the issues. It is simple and small enough that it will be easy to grasp by all who receive it.”
About the booklet, Chuck Colson writes:
“So I echo the call presented in these pages by my two brothers and fellow Southern Baptists David Dockery and Timothy George. These are godly men, two of the finest minds in our denomination–and in the entire evangelical world. ‘Building Bridges’ is an heroic call of a recommitment to the gospel message, to the God we serve, to our own Baptist heritage, and to the mission of the church as we pull together in the face of two alien worldviews which not only threaten us as a church but threaten the very foundations of our culture. This is a moment for Southern Baptists to join together and to make a powerful witness to the majestic commandments of God and the truth of a biblical view of life.”
Thom Rainer says:
“If God so leads I invite you to join me in building bridges. I am grateful for David Dockery and Timothy George who have joined me in this bridge building project.”
Morris Chapman comments:
“David S. Dockery and Timothy George have charted a wise and faithful course for Southern Baptists for the 21st Century. Their invitation to renewal is one worthy of following. I am extremely pleased and thankful for this consensus building project. I commend Building Bridges to every Southern Baptist and invite youto join us on this hope-filled, Christ-honoring journey.”

Is there anyway for those who can’t make the Convention this year to have access to this booklet? Will it be on sell or can you request it somewhere online?
