New Baptist Covenant Coverage Links

The meetings in Atlanta over the New Baptist Covenant are big doings here at Baylor, the world's largest Baptist university.

The events, put into motion by the combined efforts of President Jimmy Carter and Mercer University President Bill Underwood, are being attended by many people from here in Waco including pastors, the president of Baylor, Baylor alums and even some journalists from our student newspaper.

The New York Times ran a story, but my sources on the ground tell me that most of the media are either bloggers, the Christian media or both.

Here are some folks' takes on things:

• Baylor's student newspaper


• An alum's coverage, posted to an Internet message board that many alumni use


• Baylor Law Professor Mark Osler, who is a speaker


• The Associated Baptist Press
