]]> It seems that each time one turns around there is another leader under fire. For many that do not believe the trustee system works, these two articles should put that fear to rest. Our trustee system is doing what it was designed to do. They are holding the leaders accountable and they are assuring Southern Baptists that our various entities operate with full integrity.

This first article is the Baptist Press story from the latest Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Board of Trustees meeting. Notice how that issue was resolved: It was handled within the board and they dealt with it behind closed doors.

The next article is a news release from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary‘s semi-annual Board of Trustees meeting. They have affirmed the leadership of their president, Dr. Paige Patterson, and have explained the truth behind many of the absurd accusations about financial mismanagement that have been made in the last several months.

It is a great day to be a Southern Baptist. We have a trustee system that works, allowing our entities to pursue their Kingdom ministries while assuring the churches that support them that their work is done with integrity.
