Baptist ethicist and commentator dies at age 63
Baptist ethicist Robert Parham, the founder of the Baptist Center for Ethics and a critic of the conservative resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention, died March 5.
EthicsDaily.com, the center’s website, reported that Parham died at a Nashville, Tennessee, hospital. He was 63.
“His purpose was the same as the organization he founded and deeply cherished: to help people of faith advance the common good,” said Kevin Heifner, chair of BCE’s board of directors. “This was not a sound bite for him but the way he lived out his understanding of the essence of the gospel.”
