Recent Posts/Articles on the Logan Controversy

Here’s an update on recent news/info regarding the Logan Controversy:

Trevin Wax at Christianity Today writes a post titled “A Private Matter” in which he questions Chapman’s claim that the reasons for Logan’s firing is a matter that’s to be kept private.  Trevin contrasts Dr. Chapman’s actions to that of SBC president Johnny Hunt, who listened to the concerns of SBCers over the lack of diversity amongst the members of the GCR Task Force and made adjustments accordingly.

Likewise, Tim Brister at Provocations and Pantings, reacts against the form letter sent out by the EC to those who have contacted EC members in regards to Logan’s firing.  Timmy raises some important questions in light of the rather general, non-descript letter:

Is the Executive Committee providing such a response for legal cover?  What are we to think when even their own members were unaware of what happened to Clark Logan?  Is this another disappointing move in the wrong direction in order to avoid being accountable, transparent, and forthright with Southern Baptists? Is this generic response indicative that the Executive Committee officers are listening to the voice of Southern Baptists and giving appropriate attention to such an important (and public) matter?

Timmy, like Trevin, compares Chapman’s response (or lack thereof) to the Logan Controversy with Hunt’s response to concerns voiced about the GCR Task Force.  I encourage you to read his post (note the form letter included) and read the comments.
