    LIBERTY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY INSIGHTS ON LEADERSHIP: GOD'S PREPARATION AND SELECTION OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION'S CONSERVATIVE RESURGENCE PRESIDENCIES A thesis project submitted to Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MINISTRY By Darrell P. Onnan Stuart, Florida May 2006 Copyright @ 2006 - Darrell P. Onnan All rights reserved 11 LIBERTY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY THESIS PROJECT APPROV AL SHEET MENTOR, Dr. Frank Schmitt Professor of Educational Studies Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary REJ\DER, Dr. Daooy l.,~vett President, Tennessee/lmple University L/ 111 ABSTRACT INSIGHTS ON LEADERSHIP: GOD'S PREPARATION AND SELECTION OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION'S CONSERVATIVE RESURGENCE PRESIDENCIES Darrell P. Orman Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, 2006 Mentor: Dr. Frank Schmitt A review of current literature indicates that very little material analyzes the processes God used to prepare and then select the unique leadership group, within Evangelical Christianity, known as the Conservative Resurgence Presidents of the Southern Baptist Convention. Many writings have covered the history of the resurgence and some writings have analyzed the biographical history ofthese men. But none to date have integrated these two elements into a specific study of the leadership preparation of this group of leaders along with the office of the president. The primary source of gaining insights into their leadership preparation and abilities shall be through individual personal interviews. Practical leadership suggestions for future presidents and leaders shall be gleaned from this study. The office and function of the office of the president of the Southern Baptist Convention shall also be examined. Possible suggestions to improve the function of the office shall be examined.
