Pence to visit Dallas for speech at Southern Baptist Convention meeting

[TexasTowelie]

Vice President Mike Pence will speak at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting in Dallas on Wednesday, the denomination announced Monday.

Pence will speak at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center at 11 a.m., near the end of the morning session of worship and reports.

"We are excited to announce Vice President Mike Pence will be attending this year's SBC annual meeting to express appreciation to Southern Baptists for the contributions we make to the moral fabric of our nation," SBC president Steve Gaines said in a statement.

Doors will open at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday with increased security for SBC delegates — or "messengers" — and guests. SBC officials expect as many as 11,000 messengers at the meeting Wednesday. Doors will close at 10 a.m., in time for the convention sermon, a high-profile speech that was a point of controversy in recent weeks.

1. "Contributions to the moral fabric?"

You mean like being formed because you loved slavery so much you couldn't stay with those liberal Baptists up north an longer?? That kind of contribution?

2. Damn, Pence and 11,000 Southern Baptists.

That's a lot of evil concentrated in one place. Glad I won't be in Dallas.
