Barmen Declaration and Snyder Memorial; Shoah and Southern History
January 6 my friend John Killian, 2nd VP of the Alabama Baptist Convention posted a blog on the Movie the Valkyrie:
http://johnkillian.blogspot.com/2009/01/valkyrie-lessons-for-humanity.html
An intense discussion has developed there between myself and a Sunday School teacher at Snyder Memorial Baptist Church in Fayetteville North Carolina. June 1, West Point Chaplain John Scott will become Pastor at Snyder one of the more influential CBF congregations in North Carolina.
In the comment line of Killian's blog I quoted a Baylor PHD student, Aaron Weaver, about Killian's views of what he calls the influence of Liberal theologians.
Lot of things come in to play here, from the legacy of Jesse Helms, to how deep understanding of the major currents of Southern culture and Baptist faith are in what passes for progressive Baptist congregations like Snyder--Jerry Boykin, great friend of SBC president Bobby Welch, spoke to 300 last year at Snyder--Dawson Memorial, and Hayes Barton where Helms was lifetime member and where his funeral was held.
This blog is a work in progress some come back often for the next few days as I add links.
One I think this blogpost as well as the Bham Baptist Covenant Jan 31 to which I have invited Killian; a great framework for this discussion are not only the current movies Valkyrie and more significantly The Reader with Kate Winslett; but Princeton essayist Nell Irwin Painter.
From Painter, to UVA's Charles Marsh, to Mercer's David Gushee; lot here for all to chew on.
The Painter link--once there scroll down to page 34 for her essay The Shoah and Southern History.

O release the dog,
Flat-out bore
to corral US?
Coherence to a diverse voice?
Yes, but of late, he made a choice,
to divide US
culture war!
Still some Pettus fog.
