Certainly. He is the first black leader of said group, however. That's like 250 years of history isn't it? It reminds me of the Michael Steele thing. You may remember when the same "ill-flawed argument" was made when he was selected as RNC Chair, don't you? Plus, I really don't know what "ill-flawed" means. IRREGARDLESS, the events surrounding Luter's appointment to leadership at the SBC and the subsequent statements on political issues by the SBC are questionable ... to me, that is. Wonder if there has ever been a women to lead the SBC. Ah... I'm in between skepticism, here, and giving the benefit of the doubt on the possibility that this could all just be coincidence.
