More press on Belmont suit...there will be wrinkles

The Associated Press leads it's Baptists File Suit Against Belmont University article with the following:

"The Tennessee Baptist Convention has filed a lawsuit against Belmont University seeking to win back contributions it has made to the school since Baptists began supporting it nearly 55 years ago."

(but it's not about the money, it is about maintaining a relatonship, right?)

And then, there is a quote in the same article from James Porch, executive director of the Tennessee Baptist Convention: "Nobody at the Tennessee Baptist Convention wanted it to come to this point." I beg to differ, Dr. Porch. No one turns down 5 million dollars and then files suit without wanting it to come to something like this. What did you expect it to come to?

Dinner on the grounds sounds good today...they were cutting the grass at Belmont this morning when I joined friends there for breakfast. The smell reminded me of great Baptist gatherings where the only stains were from grassy knees and laughter induced tears. Of course, today's Baptist "box" lunch may contain something from Everlast for each hand rather than a soft paper towel...conservatively speaking, of course, it HAS come to this.
