Associated Baptist Press - better late...

Associate Baptist Press reported yesterday, "Belmont names first non-Baptists to board as controversy continues". Although reading the story felt a little like picking up a week old Sunday newspaper, I believe that Robert Marus provides a good summary of the events that led up to last week's announcement by Belmont University.

From where I am seated, we are in a holding pattern until there is a ruling/decision on a document that the Tennessee Baptist Convention calls "an agreement with a reverter clause" and that Belmont University refers to as a "historical artifact". All other arguments and flailing around are simply wasted effort.

I want to walk around some thoughts on what the relationship(s) will look like between the TBC and the associated higher education institutions after the smoke clears from the legal actions...but that is a post for another day.

Coffee is ready. Anyone want to share a cup?
