The New Precedent at Central Baptist Seminary

Kudos to the Trustees at Central Seminary for calling Dr. Molly Marshall to be President of the Seminary. She is the first woman to serve in such a capacity at any ATS accredited Baptist Seminary. As the school's press release said:

The Board of Directors of Central Baptist Theological Seminary unanimously elected Dr. Molly T. Marshall as the seminary’s 10th president. . . . This is the first time a woman has held this position at any Baptist-affiliated seminary accredited by the Association of Theological Schools.


Al Mohler, Paige Patterson and all the rest of the Fundamentalist leaders of the SBC have reason for worry. The glory has departed from your schools and the Holy Spirit is about to use the brightest ember from an extinguished torch of learning to spark a revival at Central.

How do you measure the glory departing? Because Southern has over 4000 students this semester, an endowment of $100,000,000, and the greatest faculty in the evangelical world. Why do you think Mohler and Patterson should be worried? Do you honestly think any student who would come to a school like Southern would also consider Central. By the way, how's Molly's marriage?
