I introduced you to Dr. James Merritt a bit ago in the Apprising Ministries piece Homosexuality And Jonathan Merritt. James Merritt is a former SBC president and Jonathan is his son.

Dr. Merritt is senior pastor of Cross Pointe Church (CPC), where prior to admitting to a homosexual encounter, Jonathan Merritt was on staff as a consultant running staff meetings at CPC.

His involvement with Billion Soul Network ((http://billion.tv/resources/the-global-church-learning-center/james-merritt-how-to-preach-to-any-audience/, accessed 10/20/21.)) along with Emergent Church theologian Leonard Sweet ((http://billion.tv/2012/05/19/leonard-sweet-3/, accessed 10/20/12.)) would certainly give reason for concern; as does his twitter stream where I’ve often seen him sound almost emerging.
