Cindy,

It is an amazing thing to see several blogs and news forums pick up the story about your lecture and the reaction to your lecture.  It appears that people are willing to take a risk and speak out against injustice and faulty biblical thinking even in the Southern Baptist Convention.  I hope that many will read these excellent news links and think again what happens to the church when we set up faulty tradition as the norm and then set up boundaries to stop us from questioning these traditions.  It is a healthy thing to question.  The one who has the truth should be solid enough not to be offended by the questions that are asked.  Truth is provable and solid and need not fear.  A faulty foundation will produce fear from those who are building on that foundation but don’t want others to see the cracks and holes.  Error at times runs and hides and at other times it attacks to deflect that attention away from the questions.  May we always be humble enough to admit our mistakes and to turn towards the firm foundation.
