More Baptist Schools Dropped For Gay Inclusion

http://www.365gay.com/Newscon05/11/112105baptists.htm

Georgetown College and the Kentucky Baptist Convention have agreed to a peaceful separation.

That’s in contrast to bitter fights elsewhere between state Baptist conventions and Baptist colleges.

In Georgia, the state Baptist Convention voted last week to sever ties with Mercer University over a gay-pride event.

And the Georgia Baptist Convention won a court battle last month retaining control over Shorter College.

2. I am in Kentucky and the Baptist Seminary has been taken over

by radicals. Many reasonable profs were fired, not that they would want to work for Mohler anyway.
