The program contended that a "crisis" of liberal belief exists within the Protestant church and that "the return to biblical roots in the Southern Baptist Convention is the only known time in America where a denomination has ever successively reversed the slide into theological liberalism."

The program also asserted that "liberalism usually begins" in seminaries and colleges, and that "once these schools become useless to the Kingdom of God, they rarely return to their Christian roots." A generation ago, the program argued, "too many of (Southern Baptist) seminary professors began to deny the historicity of the Scriptures." However, conservative Southern Baptists "rose up to turn the tide."

"A majority of American clergy in the mainline churches ... do not hold to the major essential doctrines of the Christian faith," he said. "One of the consequences of this is that every year these denominations lose thousands of members ..."

"Once you no longer have the Word of God as the foundation for your faith, what you replace the Word of God with is yourself and your own opinions and your own attitudes. And then you're free to do and believe anything you want and call it Christianity, even though you have somehow along the away become an enemy of the historic Christian faith."

Does this seem relevant to some of the other discussions taking place on the Baptist Board?

I saw a Catholic speaker on C-SPAN Sunday night who was saying virtually the same thing about Catholic seminaries.
