You Didn't Hear it from Me (this time)

Jim over at Mainstream Baptists reviews the latest Belmont University announcement regarding the naming of non-Baptist trustees and has this to say to Tennessee Baptists:

"The battle for Belmont, then, isn't about retaining a convention entity, it's about, yes, you guessed it, money. The leadership of the TBC doesn't care about the many thousands of students it has helped educate, it only concerns itself with control. When it cannot leverage control doctrinally or dogmatically, it turns to its favorite weapon- the purse. So shame on them. Shame on all those in the Convention who voted to sue; and shame on all those in the leadership who urged it. Shame on them for their greed and their failure to apply the teaching of Christ to themselves and the convention. And shame on them most of all for taking their brothers and sisters to court for... money... the true god of this age and the true icon of the leadership of the Tennessee Baptist Convention."

I think TBC Tither had something to say about this a few months ago.
