A column in the local paper where Jerry Vines was twice pastor caught my eye on a visit Sept 4. Dick Yarborough had an aside on Mohler. It got me thinking, some thoughts I have shared before, butin a new light and part of my spiritual biography.
This link is at core of my thought; More Later

Are you saying Vines used to pastor in Manchester, England?

Dick Yarborough apparently is syndicated in mostly Georgia papers, including Lamar Wadsworth Rockmart Journal. I hope Lamar will join me and submit a letter.

Collate this discussion with my post on Doug Carver as Carver is a Floyd County product, in this twice burned over district. Pockets like that all around, Greenville, County S.C. with Bob Jones and Frank Page and Jim Demint's Redeemer Prez PCA being another; Floyd County home of Shorter trustee Nelson Price, Vines twice pastored West Rome; FBC Rome which is now associated with the State Conventions of New York and Virginia If I am not mistaken, and where they like to vote women pastors out, while West Rome's Susan Shaw writes about her Mother's Sunday School Class.

And now Dick jumps in:

Furman Proff James Guth will be speaking about Tea Parties as part of Furman's Downtown lecture series in Greenville, S.C. Weds.
Whether he mentions the close relationship of Jim Demint to SBC's Frank Page is yet to be seen.

Mohler knows no bounds. Shout out to Dave Miller in particular in re some discussion on SBC Voices of a Year Ago about Inerrancy and the SBC Takeover
Ironically beyond imagination, Mohler now at odds with Calvin College over the First 11 chapters of Genesis. the same subject Patterson and Adrian Rogers walked away from at the Inerrancy conference of the SBC at Ridgecrest in 1987

Discussion live and ongoing as I am writing this.

Nelson Price, once considered a candidate for the SBC, now a Driving influence at Shorter College in Rome, Ga.; as a matter of academic integrity should have Rachel Held Evans of nearby Dayton, Tn, Author of Evovling in Monkeytown and a darling and rightly so of Marion Aldridge of the CBF; Have Evans at Shorter with Mohler and Boykin soon to see where all this goes.

Maybe Dick Yarborough will be there for another column

In the jeffrey Smith column reply easily googled in the Rome News Tribune

Nelson Price has hired the Art Demoss firm to beat Shorter down to compliance.
Demoss goes way back to Charles Stanley advocacy in the days of the SBC Takeover.

Here is my prayer Rd.org will be taking a look at Shorter Soon. Ed Kilgore of the piece is a native of the region, knows the world of Jerry Vines and Larry McDonald, Nelson Price and Leo Frank, Newt Gingrich and Tom Watson; all Cousins to the Kudzu
