Pressler, Marney; Davidson and Roger Paynter

Postby Stephen Fox » Thu Jul 03, 2014 3:45 pm

Roger Paynter is pastor of FBC Austin Texas and husband of Suzii, CBF coordinator.

Marney was pastor there in mid 50's and was forced out as a result of the Brown v Board decision.

Chandler Davidson of Rice has an interesting hundred pages on WA Criswell in Race and Class in Texas Politics.

There is a cloud surrounding Paul Pressler's father in Texas St legislature in the 50's over the brown decision and how how Pressler's Exxon family might've reacted to Brown given the family's history with Texas Regulators and Coke Stevenson vs LBJ in 48,

Sure would be sweet if BHHS had some conversations with Paynter and Davidson to bring some clarity to this fascinating aspect of the family history in key SBC takeover personality.
