Since I have (again) been reprimanded for harsh remarks about the Tennessee Baptist Convention's Baptist and Reflector, I wish to be fair when the reporting on the three higher education institutions that the TBC claims as their own is fair and balanced. Congratulations to Belmont, Carson-Newman, and Union for increasing enrollment this fall. These are three fine institutions. They are unique in their own ways. I hope that the diversity they represent offers our Tennessee Baptist students good choices to match their particular calling.
By the by, I have been questioning what really makes our Tennessee, Christian colleges and universities "Baptist". In the most recent B&R articles regarding enrollment, Carson-Newman indicated that 55% of her students claim to be Baptist... if democracy has anything to do with it, I'd say that alone makes Carson-Newman a Baptist institution... perhaps there is more to it.
Pickled green bean salad! I haven't had that in quite a while, but it must be a Baptist dish: lots of variety, an interesting flavor, good color, and enough of a 'twang' to keep your taste buds a little off balance. Yes sir, it is a Baptist dish!!
