One-on-One: Dr. Craig Conner

Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are taking on the church. Earlier this month, the two leading Democrats asked the heads of the Southern Baptist Convention to be more inclusive with their members.

The two men are pointing to issues like abortion and gay marriage. They say there is a negative perception of the Baptist Church because of their conservative teachings.

Dr. Frank Page, head of the Southern Baptist Convention disagrees. He says Baptists preach from the Bible and are generous when it comes to doing things like helping the poor.

In Panama City, First Baptist Church Pastor, Dr. Craig Conner says he is surprised at the former President’s opinions. Dr. Conner says Southern Baptists are conservative theologically and that will not change.
