Bad Day for Baptist Press

I just had to laugh at this one BP has to defend Van McClain trying to get rid of Dwight McKissic because McKissic does not fall into lock step on one hand and then defend the president of the Romanian seminary (the only European Baptist leader in favor of the SBC dumping the BWA) against a charge of Plagerism.

Its tough sometimes being the mouthpiece for the "conservative resurgence".

It sounds like there is more to the story than indicated. The reason you have a "board" of trustees is so that various opinions can be considered. The other trustees can easily out vote McKissic on the issues of contention. What are they afraid of?

Could it be that Van McClean wants to keep the actions of the board from becoming public information to the SBC from whom they get funds. IMO, such boards should be transparent to the rest of the SBC.

It should be a vote of the convention...not a clandestine meeting of politically placed elites. Let the people speak to what they believe about this whole business, then let's see where we are with everything.

This is going to be a bloodbath...we need one.
