Glorieta Conference Center sale moves from N.M. Baptists to Calif.-based Olivet University

The sale of LifeWay Glorieta Conference Center has turned from the Baptist Convention of New Mexico to a California-based Christian organization, Olivet University. The BCNM’s Glorieta Task Force has notified LifeWay Christian Resources that it is not feasible for the state convention to assume ownership of Glorieta, even for the $1 price LifeWay had offered. LifeWay, meanwhile, has stated that it is considering a sale to Olivet, a step hinged on a “comprehensive review of the theological compatibility” of LifeWay and Olivet.
