I agree with Paul. This sounds like replacement ethnology.

that’s funny!!!!!!

For any who may think the SBC and SWBTS do not care about all races:

A total of 21 ethnic faculty members serve at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, including African Americans, Native Americans, Koreans, Hispanics and Asians. The ethnic student population increased 14 percent between the 2014-15 and 2015-16 academic years, climbing to 1,477.

Approximately half of North American Mission Board church plants are predominantly non-Anglo.

LifeWay Christian Resources is the “largest commercial publisher of Spanish Bibles in the world.”

For more than 20 years, the student body at Gateway Seminary (formerly Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary) has been about 60 percent non-Anglo.

Non-Anglo churches make up about 20% of SBC churches.

In my experience, everybody makes mistakes, and if one makes appropriate apologies, it’s not permanent damage. Double bonus points if they make a point of helping out at a minority or inner city church for a week or two to “get the lay of the land”.

“In an effort to be humorous, we made a mistake and communicated something that was completely foreign to anything that any of us felt in our hearts. To say that we are sorry will not be sufficient for many. We understand. To each of those and to everyone, we extend an invitation to visit this campus unannounced and at a time of your choosing and witness the love of Christ extended to all indiscriminately and to the best of our ability to every individual who sets foot on the campus…”

Kudos to Dr. Patterson for dealing with this quickly and seriously. I appreciated that.
