I am proud to call Balmer a friend, and hope my friendship with him does not bring any opprobrium to his good name.
Had great good fortune to spend an hour with Balmer in2002 when he spoke at Samford. I helped get him on statewide PBS for 30 minute broadcast; and as he says through my "agency" he spoke at Furman five years ago, on same night as the Charles Marsh hero of God's Long Summer, Cleveland Sellers.
Balmer has a strong word here. I hope it gets to the Collinsville Baptist Church and Truett Memorial in Hayesville, N.C. and every parish and precinct.
Matthew Morgan, a native of Collinsville, was a student of Balmer as visitting proff at Yale just a few years ago.
