Danny Akin and Southeastern seminary drops C.J. Mahaney from conference

 

Apparently Dr. Danny Akin and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary have dropped C.J. Mahaney from the 20/20 Collegiate Conference "EKKLESIA: God's Perspective on the Church."¹ We first posted our lament concerning Akin's decision to retain Mahaney in the face of Southern Baptists' 2013 resolution on the sexual abuse of children in a post entitled "Danny Akin and Al Mohler still sponsoring C. J. Mahaney."  

 

For my part, for whatever reason(s) Dr. Akin decided to withdraw the invitation to Mahaney, we are grateful and commend him and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary for doing so.

Now, if only Dr. Mohler could find the courage to sever all ties between Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and C.J. Mahaney's Pastors' School.

All last week Mohler's friends publicly expressed their admiration for his unflinching courage to do the "right thing" during the "Conservative Resurgence," and to do so even when it was personally hurtful to himself and his family.

We wait to see how Dr. Mohler responds under different circumstances.
