Criswell Condemned as a White Populist
Freeman is best to date to give my friend and Baptist Hero Stewart Newman a Glorious Tribute as an Atticus Finch of Baptist life.
Nixon's Barber's Son, Jim Pitts' great friend, TC Smith, Pitts accompanimist to the funeral of Marshall Frady, where Pitts delivered a tribute on behalf of Will Campbell comes out in fine fashinon in this analysis as well.
The Emperor Criswell never had any clothes and we are one step closer to proving inerrancy and the fundamentalist takeover of the SBC to be the Great Sham it Was.
Just click below on the Freeman PDF for the Journal of Southern Religion Essay; and on any title link for the discussion at Bl.com, some of which compares Criswell to aspects of Jeremiah Wright.

TD Webb and Flick will be delighted to know it was their Oklahoma Buddy Wade Burleson who had a link to this great article embedded in one of his blogs.It has great deal of the heroism of my Dad's great proff and my friend Stewart Newman in it, in the witness that forever puts Newman in the pantheon of Great Baptists of His time.Great article, and it is now here for us at bl.com

Brother Fox, interesting that Alabama moderate Ralph Langley was quoted in the article as favoring racial segregation.
Fair enough, I noticed that as well.
Our friend Mark is in FBC Huntsville now. I think he may have a word for us soon.
I have sent David Currie an email, a cousin of Criswell, hoping to get his take.
Thanks for reading the article and get the word around.
I think you will have to admit, it is a fascinating look.
Only thing he left out was some quotes from Clayton Sullivan in Called To Preach Condemned to Survive.
I am about to post them at bl.com

Just twenty more days-and counting-
I bet you countin fellow was the one that almost turned 30 yesterday.
You just couldn't do it could you.
Got another year to go.
Vermiculean and what is to come, that is what you should be thinking about instead of countin the days away in April.
But If I have misfired here, then God Forgive me
