Albert Mohler, President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, wrote a brief article today entitled “The Culture of the Congregation: Celebrating Adoption.” Here are two excerpts:

One of the ways we wish to help Christians connect the dots between vertical adoption (i.e. God adopting us in Christ) and horizontal adoption (i.e. couples adopting children) is through interviews. We are convinced that the practice of horizontal adoption and orphan care will be significantly enriched as we grow in our understanding of what [...]
