The town in which I pastor has become the site of the latest church plant of a Harvest Church. This church is part of the "denomination" (sorry I don't know a better word to use) begun by radio preacher James MacDonald. Southern Ontario has been one of the most fertile grounds anywhere for this type of church. Hence it was a great surprise to discover that MacDonald has just announced at the Southern Baptist Convention that Harvest will become a Southern Baptist Church.
This announcement has already caused great consternation because of conflicts between SBC church polity and that of Harvest. My concern is for the many local Harvest churches here in Canada. Where does this leave them? Are they expected to become Southern Baptist as well?
