In the news today a buseload of Baptists were in a bad accident and eight were killed.

And if memory these church related bus accidents happen some what frequency, does that mean Baptists are "poor guardians of their flock"?

I don't believe it but I don't believe Mormons nor Baptist, Methodists or Catholic missionaries wantonly put their believers in jeopardy. Accidents happen to all people, of whatever faiths or non believers.

'Twas a chartered bus. As far as I know, the busdriver wasn't a baptist. So try another tact if you're wanting to make a point worth considering.

In contrast, let's take the Boy Scout comparison I made in my initial post: Lds churches treat the Boy Scouts like a church youth group. Its lay leaders are "called" to Boy Scout leadership positions...and thus, those are Lds members.

As such, they act as both direct SPIRITUAL and physical guardians of these kids.

Of course, accidents happen to all families -- no matter what stripe they wear. Of course, missionaries of all denominations have died.

What I am talking about is how there seems to be such a great concentration of these for a people group that is only 1.7% of our population.
