Tommy Green reflects on FBSC presidency

BRANDON (FBW)—Tommy Green is most encouraged by "the tremendous spirit of cooperation" he has found in his travels in Florida during his inaugural term as president of the Florida Baptist State Convention. In an interview last month with Florida Baptist Witness editor James A. Smith Sr., Green touted Florida Baptists’ spirit of unity as the envy of other state conventions.

Bob and Mary Schindler stand outside Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park where their daughter, 39-year-old Terri Schiavo, has lived for over three years. The family is at the center of a national debate on the so called "right-to-die."

Terri's parents voice private pain in conflict

Chinese Christian remnant weeps for lost city

CHINA (IMB)—Sheer hills rise around a quiet Chinese town, framing the idyllic setting like a Chinese alpine village.

Often overlooked in a province known more for ethnic minority groups, the city of nearly 500,000 is often just a bus stop on a frequently traveled commercial route.
