Sandy: "Perhaps the one thing that pre-1979 moderates did for African American church growth in the SBC was to offer the same seminary scholarship to National Baptist Convention church members to attend the six seminaries that Southern Baptist students received. The conservatives continued that agreement, as far as I know it is still in effect, and that produced the current generation of African American church planters. "
Ed: Sandy I don't know specifically about the other five SBC Seminaries But on the fee Schedule presented at P31 of the 1995-96 SBTS Catalog The Base fee for Baptist Student * is $500.00 Maximum Fee for Baptist Student* $950.00 Also listed is Base Fee - Non Baptist student** $1000.00 and Maximum Fee for Non Baptist Students ** $1900,00

And on P 33 there is a box: with this text = Please note as of Aug 1, 1995:
* "Baptist will change to read "Southern Baptist."
** "Non-Baptist" will Change to read all "Non Southern Baptist"

Make up history all you want Sandy. The takeover crowd pulled it off because they were the best at secular style political brinksmanship. They figured out the system and the weaknesses in the system and exploited them shamelessly to their fullest. Moderates were out maneuvered politically. It had nothing to do with elitism. They bushed in votes, the plotted a takeover, they shut off mics, they pulled a right wing political style coup. And the crazy thing is that you are cool with that when it happens in the SBC but you have a cow when basically the very same people with the very same values and even some of the very same names do it in the Republican party.
