The Baptist and Reflector Gets it Right

Since I have already blasted the Tennessee Baptist Convention's reporting on one story, it is only fair that I commend them for NOT regurgitating an error that appeared in the secular media (and Baptist Press) the week before Christmas. The Baptist & Reflector, in this story, correctly identifies the eight new Belmont University Board of Trustee Members by including, "only one of whom is a member of a convention-affiliated church." Earlier media releases called seven of the new board members non-Baptists. Thank you, B&R, for not offending our Missionary Baptist friends.

At the bottom of the story, TBC President and Belmont alumnus, Ron Stewart is quoted, "
it just reveals they’re (Belmont) moving forward without any visible signs they would ever want to renew the relationship." Good point, Ron. What's the game plan from your leadership that gives any of us a sign that you want to renew that relationship? Just curious...the lawsuit just isn't doing it for me.
