Albert Mohler defends scandal rocked Southwestern

The presumptive front runner to be elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention in 2020 defended the administration of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Tuesday evening. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, defended his protégé who now leads Southwestern. It is the perfect example of the good old boy network taking care of its own. Ignore the evidence. Circle the wagons.

Mohler tweeted, “I have full confidence in the biblical fidelity of @SWBTS and the commitment of its leadership to a robustly biblical vision of human sexuality and gender. Southern Baptists are well served by six seminaries committed to biblical fidelity.
