Fields SBC PmRepresentative Dan Martin News Room Manager Craig Bird PhotographylFeatum Manager Southern Baptist Convention Rallas, June ll.U, 1985 ROUNDUP FOR MONDAY AMS Release after 3 p.m. Sunday DALLAS, June 9--Pleas to feed the spiritually hungry and help the homeless key- noted opening sessions Sunday of religious groups rneetingh-in advance of the 128th Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) . Bill Weber, pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church, Dallas, emphasized the importance of providing spiritual food in his address at the Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference in Dallas Convention Center. William M. Elliott, director of Jefferson Street Baptist Center, Louisville, Ky,, championed the concerns of the homeless at the annual meeting of the woman's Missionary Union, SBC missions auxiliary, in the Dallas Convention Center Arena. Other Southern Baptist groups in pre-convention sessions included religious educators, church musicians, campus ministers, directors of missions, and women in ministry. The SBC wfll open a three-day run Tuesday morning at the convention center with an address by President Charles Stanley, pastor of First Baptist Church, Atlanta, and election 05 officers. Competition for the presidency between Stanley and W. Winfred Moore, pastor of First Baptist Church, Amarillo, Texas, is expected to attract 30,000 messengers, largest gathering for an annual meeting since the 14.3 mulion member convention was organized in 1845. In the advance to the clergy, Weber contended "people gather in our services today with hungry hearts, anxious to receive the spirtual food our Lord can provide. "1t is easy to forget that everyone around us has a spiritual hunger in their lives. Often, because a group of people look healthy and successful, we overlook the fact that the inner man searches daily for a spiritual feeding.'' Weber encouraged the ministers to remain sensitive to the specific needs of persons in their listening audiences and to show a positive attitude as they help others. Itwe are tempted to justify our spiritual apathy or our indifference. We try to rationalize our lack of concern that people be saved. I believe, frankly, that one day we are going to have to give an account of that indifferent attitude. Just procrastinating rather thah being enthusiastic about doing the Lord's work is not pleasing to God .I1 Weber challenged the pastors to be creative in their approaches, confessing "I like to be around people who figure out different ways to do the Lord's work.
