Some came from small churches; I knew an African-American pastor on the board whose church had less than 100. But most of the trustees were pastors at large churches. <br />I also felt that there should have been more ethnic diversity.

Since you were on the trustee board, perhaps you can dispel a myth for me. The impression those of us who serve in small churches(say under 125 in Sunday morning worship), and those who serve in rural areas, is that precious few trustees of any SBC agency are from that Kennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117263.post-23788482692714376292009-08-13T07:50:25.924-04:002009-08-13T07:50:25.924-04:00Kirwa,

In particular, he required staff to report to him verbatim anything they said to a trustee. Now that is way too heavy handed. According to news reports, the trustees tried to get Geoff to work on his management style, which was considered micro-managing, and he Dr. Bob Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487895077204597740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117263.post-89993239147293902132009-08-13T00:38:08.919-04:002009-08-13T00:38:08.919-04:00It pains to see Geoff and others being subjected t...It pains to see Geoff and others being subjected to such heartless and baseless accusations. I have worked and known Geoff for several years and has proved himself a man of integrity and reputation. He has a big heart for missions and missionaries.
