Baptist Seminary Celebrates Diversity

[Salty]

Wheres all the talk of "Only one race - the human race".

Lets face it folks - there are differnces in people groups. A pastor may not feel confortable in a church of a different race - and vice versa. Not only the congeration - but the local community which needs to be reached.
Am I condoning this situation - NO - I'm just telling you the way it is.

It will take time - and in some cases - it could be a long time.

The Kingdom Diversity initiative addresses cultural and gender diversity on campus.

A Kingdom Diversity scholarship fund has been created in honor of Akin. “Few things have honored me more greatly than having a scholarship established in my name for this very purpose,” Akin said.

Eight of the scholarships were awarded to women and 15 to men. Two of the most sought after scholarships went to African-American and Hispanic women one pursuing a Doctor of Education and the other a Master of Divinity.

Currently, 26 percent of the students at Southeastern are women and the seminary is seeking to increase that number to at least 35 percent.

A word taken out of context, and with no effort to explain how they may describe an attitude or agenda different from what the current popular usage of the word may be, is disingenuous, if not outright dishonest.

This is nothing more than an effort to make certain those of different ethnic backgrounds, and women, have an opportunity to get an education that will prepare them to serve Christ and His body.

If anyone has a problem with that, I would suggest you grow up.
