Dr. Paul Simmons:
Dr. Paul Simmons died last night in Louisville, Ky. A long time professor of Christian Ethics at Southern Seminary, he was, for my money, the most brilliant, courageous, and progressive Christian ethicist among Baptists of our time. A man of deep faith, he took on the hard issues and never winced.
Visitation will be at Pearson Funeral Home at 149 Breckinridge Lane in Louisville on Sunday, March 24, beginning at 2 pm. Memorial Service on Monday, March 25, at 11:00 at Broadway Baptist Church.
Prayers and blessings for the family.

I was one of many who benefited from his scholarship and his example, and I mourn his passing.
