Marney's Myers Park fires Pastor Boswell for preaching prophetically about Trump

 

   Reports deacon chair Marcy McClanahan is key in this disappointing story of one of the most Clear Headed Churches in the Baptist Tradition where Marney was great in the sixties, Myers Park in Charlotte letting their pastor go in short notice after a beautiful sermon a few weeks ago on how to do church in these Days of the Bastard Donald Trump.

     Baptist News global has a story up and their have been reports in the Charlotte Observer. The MPark facebook page is on fire.

     Coincidentally when I saw the news Friday I had just been rereading the John Carey book on Marney from 1980 with the Introduction by Samuel Hill. Marney was a boundary person one of a handful of that era that included the world of Will Campbell and several people from Furman. Two of those LD Johnson and Theron Price had been classmates of Marney at Southern Seminary.

     More later as lot of drama and opinions to come in short order.
