Canadian Southern Baptists elect new leader
Convention honors retiring executive, adds churches
From a release
KELOWNA, BC–For only the second time in their 13-year history as a convention, Canadian Southern Baptists have elected a new national leader. Also at their annual meeting, May 26 through 28, they honored their retiring executive and welcomed 11 new churches.
Gerry Taillon was elected national ministry leader at the May 26 session. "I accept this challenge based on two realities," Taillon said following the announcement of his election. "First, ultimately the leader of the Canadian Convention of Southern Baptists is Jesus Christ. Secondly, I lead a team of leaders, of which God has given us some of the best."
