Paige Patterson kicked out as seminary president

What's wrong with this photo?  How many women do you see?  

Hooray that Paige Patterson is no longer president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth.

Here's the seminary's goal:
One of the largest seminaries in the world, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary equips men and women with a strong theological foundation to fulfill God’s calling on their lives. Rooted in Scripture and branching out to fulfill the Great Commission, Southwestern’s motto is “Preach the Word, Reach the World.” This motto captures for a new generation of students the historic pledge of Southwestern Seminary to serve both Southern Baptist churches and a lost world by equipping ministers for their God-ordained task.

Note to Southwestern Baptist: pride comes before a fall.  

Since 2000, the SBC has refused to allow its churches to ordain women to be pastors.  

As long as you keep refusing to ordain women and applauding men who oppress women, you can except more embarrassing petition campaigns to remove your leaders.

Thank God that Patterson's comments on "stay with your abusive husband" are being widely quoted and challenged.

But will he still speak at the Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas June 12-13?


Thank you to the 3,000+ mostly evangelical women who signed petitions against Patterson.
