MISSOURI: Doctrinal Concerns of Southwest Baptist University Alumni

This letter stems from an ongoing issue at SBU regarding the expulsion of Dr. Bass. Dr. Bass brought forth some of these allegations and was fired for it. It was covered in The Pathway and SBC Voices. The reason I am reposting: I know some of the alumni who signed off on the article below and I trust their judgment.

Doctrinal Concerns of Southwest Baptist University Alumni

Having observed the recent controversies at our alma mater, Southwest Baptist University (SBU), a number of like-minded alumni have corresponded and determined it would be beneficial to provide alumni testimony and express our concerns regarding SBU.

Based on my experience, the SBC lost a generation of men attending seminary during the conservative resurgence. Many went left, or at the very least moderate, due to the heavy handed actions of conservatives (which I felt was needed).
