Some Of The Most Important Words You Will Hear At Southern Seminary

will be spoken by a Roman Catholic.

I will give all of my readers who know anything about Southern Baptist and Seminary life 3 guesses to name the person who said that. It was none other than Dr. Al Mohler.

At the end of chapel on Thursday, after a thought provoking message by Dr. Moore, Dr. Mohler moved to the pulpit and asked everyone to sit down. We knew something was going on. For the next 3 minutes, Dr. Mohler addressed concerns he had about an email conversation that had been forwarded to him over the last week. The emails were a dialogue between disgrunteld seminarians about the use of preachers in the two weekly on-campus chapels who did not "believe all that Southern Baptists believe." In a very compassioante method, Dr. Mohler laid the smack down.

After raising the question to those in chapel attendance as to why we have these kind of chapel speakers, he said "because we desperately need to hear from them." Mohler then went on to bring up Dr. Robert George, Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program of American Ideas and Institutions at Princeton University, who would be delivering the Norton Lecture Series on embryo ethics, marriage and family, and democracy. Mohler then said, "Dr. George is a Roman Catholic, and what he says will be some of the most important words you will hear at Southern Seminary this semester."

Wow.
