“Unprecedented” said one observer.
“Shocking,” said another, “It’s the end of a highly loquatious era. I don’t know if he can run for a second term after this.”

Current seminary leadership is said to be considering replacing that chair with a Chair of Openness and Transparency, but there has been difficulty in finding a suitable person for that position.

Conservative Baptist Network adopts new policy of having all pronouncements signed by individual authors.

Hacker and Plodder Blogger William Thornton declares a ‘Mental Health Day’ for the entire SBC.
“”Now that The Babylon Bee is back,” Thornton said, “we should all take advantage of it and lighten up a bit. The entire convention will benefit, pastors will be happier, church members will be able to see their pastor actually smile and act like he enjoys his ministry.”
“It’s a no-brainer,” he said, “and the SBC is filled with no-brainers.”

Have a nice Thanksgiving.
