At this year's Religious Liberty Council luncheon at the CBF meeting in Tampa, former BJC Director James Dunn accepted the J.M. Dawson Religious Liberty Award. ABP's Bob Allen reports:
James Dunn identified “soul freedom” as the driving force behind the church-state watchdog organization now in its 75th year.
…
Dunn said it was not a “rugged individualist, cowboy Christianity” criticized by some academicians that moved Dawson, but instead the “biblical priesthood of the believer.” It is the same notion, he said, described by Roger Williams as “freedom of conscience” and by E.Y. Mullins as “the competence of the individual before God.”
Congratulations James for this well-deserved honor!
