- Description:
- Elizabeth B. Barnes was Assistant Professor of Theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with organ music (0:00-3:42). There is a moment of prayer (3:43-5:29). Elizabeth Barnes is introduced as the chapel speaker (5:30-9:54). Barnes reads a passage of Scripture from Matthew and a poetic reflection (9:55-11:10). Barnes speaks about a murder which opened the eyes of many to political injustice (11:11-13:25). Barnes wonders why Southern Baptists are not aware of, or not meeting the needs of, people in severe poverty and discrimination, naming the core problem as the church’s lack of seeing the meeting of such needs as part of the gospel (13:26-16:14). She speaks of the tension in the Southern Baptist community about church doctrine (16:15-18:08). She shares her thesis, discussing how Lumberton First Baptist Church and the Southern Baptist Convention specifically failed to see the conditions of poverty and discrimination (18:09-35:35). Barnes speaks about the application of the theology she has been discussing (35:34-52:25). The service concludes with a moment of prayer (52:26-53:18).
