If Southern Seminary President R. Albert Mohler can apologize openly, honestly, and definitively for his past support of C.J. Mahaney, why can the trustees of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary — either jointly or separately as men and women of honor — not apologize for their misguided support of Paige Patterson?
Sweeping the past fifteen years under the rug will only exacerbate the problem. Come clean. Admit errors. Seek forgiveness.
“For to him who knows what to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
“He who covers his sin will not prosper. But he who confesses and forsakes his sin will find mercy.”

I am quite confident the Trustees are aware of, and cling to, the old Group Doctrine: “Everybody’s responsibility is nobody’s responsibility”.
