LYNCHBURG, Va. (BP)--Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, has no illusions about the critical tasks confronting evangelicals in the Third Millennium.

The ERLC's fourth regional pastors' briefing, held in conjunction with "The Awakening" events on the Liberty University/Thomas Road Baptist Church campuses, was one of several sessions in which Land called on Southern Baptists to look beyond old barriers as they focus on being a force for a biblically inspired, prayer-fed cultural reformation.
