    Just did a search of Temple Baptist Theological Seminary where I got a lot of grad credits back in the day. Last I knew it had been taken over by Piedmont U. when Tennessee Temple went under. Lo and behold, now it is at some place I've never heard of before called Brewton-Parker College at HOME - Temple Baptist Theological Seminary!

    So I went to the Piedmont U. site at www.piedmont.edu, and found that there is no longer anything at all that is Christian on the site. What am I missing here? Am I at the wrong "Piedmont" site?

    Okay, never mind. Piedmont Baptist College is now Carolina University at Carolina University | Winston-Salem, North Carolina. But I'm still puzzled as to how and when Temple Baptist Theological Seminary migrated yet again!

    Steve Echols, president who ran TT into the ground, snapped up the Temple seminary name for his Southern Bapist school in southern Georgia after CU dropped the Temple name in favor of Piedmont Divinity School:

    Piedmont Divinity School | Carolina University

    "In recent years, Temple Baptist Seminary has served as the name in which our theological programs were provided. This naming occurred with the merging of Tennessee Temple and Piedmont International University (now known as Carolina University), and honored the long tradition of theological education provided for thousands of students at Tennessee Temple and Piedmont. As Carolina University has grown and expanded its worldwide footprint, the theological emphasis and legacy is now carried under the name of Piedmont Divinity School"
