"Indeed, Belmont's last and final proposal to the TBC included: investing significant sums of money over a 10 to 15 year period to support scholarships for Baptist students to attend Belmont; funding to assist with the operations of the Tennessee Baptist Children's Home and Harrison-Chilhowee Baptist Academy; and funding to support the international missions efforts of Tennessee Baptists."
While we are dealing with inaccuarcies, let's not forget the following statement from a WTVF* report from last year,
"The outgoing president of the Tennessee Baptist Convention says money is not the object in a 57 (M) million dollar suit against Nashville's Belmont University. Philip Jett said the primary goal is to return Belmont to the Baptist fold."Perhaps it's my trifocals, but would someone please read the complaint again and point out the parts where the TBC wants to accept the prodigal son (Belmont) back into the fold? It sounds strangely like this mess is ALL about the money...but I could be wrong.
*I must acknowledge that reports surrounding Philip Jett have been inaccurately reported by the media before due to no fault of Bro. Jett.
Please note that my jabs at the Baptist & Reflector are in no way intended to be personal attacks against the fine folks who work there...it is about bringing the B&R back into the Baptist news fold.
Coffee anyone?

An insdier at the TBC contents that parties in arbitration are bound by non-disclosure agreements.
The reperesentations made by the Dickens release were supposedly not seen by those involved in arbitration process.
Anon.,
I appears that the two parties are no longer "in arbitration". Non-disclosure generally applies during the process so that only those involved in the actual arbitration are privy to items on the table..at least, that is my understanding.
Where are all those lawyers when you really need them?
