I learned more about the character of Dr. Mohler through his sincere graciousness shown toward Dr. McCall than I have in my three years of watching him lead Southern Seminary.

It is quite apparent that Dr. McCall has come to the point of recognizing God’s hand being on Dr. Mohler and the leadership of Southern Seminary.

Dr. McCall’s message calling on the alumni of Southern to rally in unified support behind the current leadership of the seminary was a well-timed and well-needed expression of confidence in the work of God occurring in the seminary today.

I am certainly glad I was in attendence for such a momentous occasion of honoring the past of Southern Seminary while looking forward to the future that God has in store for the school!

Al Mohler, “eloquent and concise“? A special occasion, indeed!

Thanks for your account of the week’s events. Very helpful for those of us who couldn’t make it.

I think Mohler and the seminary board made a poor decision in electing to name the new pavilion after a theological liberal who led the school in an unbiblical direction. Why do Southern Baptists insist on honoring liberals? Perhaps they haven’t come as far as many claim.

To answer your question at the Union event, which I know is still eating away at you , M. E. Dodd was the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Shreveport, Louisiana. He is also considered by many to be the father of the Southern Baptist Convention Cooperative Program for foreign missions. He was also a two-time graduate from Union.
