Correction

by Jacob Clagg, Director of Communications

It has been brought to our attention that I (Jacob) made an error in an article in the January/February 2024 issue of The Global Advocate In a reflection on the life and ministry of Dr. Earl Mills, former Executive Director of the Great Lakes Conference, I mistakenly mentioned that Earl “baptized babies.” As most of our readers well know, the CGGC does not endorse infant baptism, and neither does Dr. Mills. During our interview, Dr. Mills spoke about how he was involved at every stage of the life of the church, from child dedications, to baptisms, to funerals. While paraphrasing, I mistakenly (and thoughtlessly) attributed infant baptism to Earl. I have since apologized to him for the oversight, and we appreciate those individuals who brought this issue to our attention, so we could address it here. It’s our goal at the CGGC to publish engaging but accurate stories, but we are grateful for those who hold us accountable and point out places where we’ve missed the mark.
