#312: Frank Page


Frank S. Page is the pastor of First Baptist Church of Taylors, South Carolina, and former President of the Southern Baptist Convention. He has written several books and articles, and is the lead writer for the Advanced Continuing Witness Training material. He is a staunch follower of Rick Warren and an excellent example of the radical band of Southern Baptists – which should be sufficient to qualify him for an entry.

Page is also a member of the Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, where he complains that the president won’t listen to their policy suggestions. Page is for instance serving on the “fatherhood task force”, and feels that the government isn’t taking seriously the fact that strong Biblical faith makes fathers better fathers – sure, there’s government money available for fatherhood related issues; the problem is that the money isn’t earmarked for boosting fathers’ Biblical faith ().

It would presumably be superfluous to describe Page’s views on homosexuality.

Diagnosis: Another Taliban fundie. There’s plenty more where he comes from.

  2. The only thing needed here is "South Carolina". The only non-loons in that state are those who can't get out. Everyone else got out while the getting was good.
