Welcome to the conversations that matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. I got a email or a message I should say about a week and a half ago from someone who

Basically was telling me hey New Orleans Baptist

theological seminary has a problem. They got some woke stuff going on there and

I've known about this now for that issue for well over a year from more behind the scene stuff. People who

reached out to me and don't say anything, that kind of thing. And so I haven't

said anything. The thing is though, New Orleans, because it's smaller school I think, it does not get the same kind of attention in the Southern Baptist denomination that a flagship seminary like southern or or even South Western with the Bobby Lopez

situation gets. They've gotten all kinds of attention. Lots of people have gone

through their material to just see hey what are they actually teaching they found a lot of problematic

stuff especially at southern and southeastern and that's gone out there and both

schools have tried to scrub some of that.

But New Orleans just, I guess it's because it's smaller.

I don't know if there's another reason,

but they just haven't gotten the same kind of attention.

And I thought before the convention, I know there's a lot of southern

Baptist who listened to this podcast it might be good for you to just realize this is this

is bigger than New Orleans this is bigger than than southern it's bigger than

southeastern it's bigger than southwestern it's bigger than golden gate it's bigger than

you know you name whatever you know entity or school you want to name it's bigger

than nam.

It kind, there's kind of like little pockets of this throughout the

denomination.

And in some places, the pockets are bigger than others.
