From the President's DeskA New President at the Helm of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. and what it means for American Baptist CollegeMany National Baptists were thrilled that on Thursday, September 10, 2009, the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. elected ABC alumnus and Board of Trustees member the Reverend Dr. Julius R. Scruggs as its next president. Rev. Scruggs’ victory was a great victory in the National Baptist Convention: Dr. Scruggs won the election by an overwhelming vote (4,076 to 924). This wide margin of votes established a new mandate of leadership for National Baptists. With Rev. Scruggs’ election to the presidency of one of the largest Black religious organizations in the nation comes the excitement of a new leadership mandate that is prophetic and committed to social justice and divine justice. For this reason, I am excited about the outcome of this election. I believe his leadership will positively impact the theological direction, denominational mission and relevance not only of National Baptists nationally, but will also impact the future of Black Christianity globally. | Quick Links & AnnouncementsABC In The News |
