The Sheri Klouda Case
It is rare for me to get angry - on this blog at least - but having tracked for some time now the story of Sheri Klouda's dismissal (technically disguised as a refusal to allow her to apply for tender) from Southwestern Baptist Seminary, and the role of Paige Patterson (the Seminary's President) in that dismissal, my blood just keeps on boiling.
What am I on about? Well for the short answer see here. For the longer view see Wade Burleson's exhaustive discussion here and follow up post here.
Patterson, of course, was one of the key players in the SBC's break from fellowship with other Baptist Christian's worldwide in the Baptist World Alliance.
On this evidence ... good riddance!

Thanks for the link. This is a frustrating situation, especially considering that there are other self-consistent complementarian interpretations that one might have given to the biblical teachings in question. I'm afraid the SBC is heading down the road toward becoming a pseudo-Christian sect.

She was denied tenure actually.
Anyway, I too am quite angry about this situation.
Patterson has again proven that he is an absolute moron.
