The pastor of the First Baptist Church
of Lavaca will serve another one-year term as president of the
Arkansas Baptist State Convention.
The Reverend Grant Ethridge was elected Wednesday to a second
term at the head of the group. The organization is affiliated with
the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation`s largest Protestant
denomination.
Ethridge says the state group`s meeting did not include
controversial issues that might have split delegates.
The Reverend LeRoy Wagner, pastor of Pearcy Baptist Church, was
re-elected to a second term as first vice president. The Reverend
Larry White, pastor of First Baptist Church at Crossett, was
re-elected as second vice president.
