In fact, they have set up a liberal seminary because the liberals were ousted from the seminary in Fort Worth.
I'm a Baylor grad (Chemistry, 1984). I also knew many who were ousted from Southwestern Seminary and none of them were liberal.

Do you have any facts to back up your assertion that the seminary at Baylor is liberal?

I'm still a SB member but out of the loop some. I started attending an Independent about 7 years ago. (Yes , I'm one of those dreaded Fundamentalists :'). The reason I asked the guys this questions was because I was supposed to attend a freep at Baylor a few years ago when Janet Reno invited to speak. It was cancelled though but not because of Baylor :'( I thought it really strange that she would have been courted though.

1. "A recent issue of Baylor University's Lariat newspaper reported that open theism is gaining ground at Baylor's Truett Seminary due to the influence of theologian Roger Olson, who has praised the work of Boyd while calling himself "open to open theism."

2. Russell Dilday

3. Faculty and student exchanges with Harvard Divinity school.

"Lest one think Harvard theology might be moving to the right, it's useful to know that Baylor, once known as the crown jewel in the Southern Baptist educational tiara, as the renowned Harvey Cox, Harvard professor of divinity, described it to Bay Windows, is not the place it used to be. " - http://www.baywindows.com/news/2001/03/29/LocalNews/Good-Grief.Harvard.Hooking.Up.With.Homophobic.Southern.Baptists-60736.shtml

4. "Baylor has disavowed connections with the Southern Baptist Convention in recent years, opting instead to affiliate solely with the moderate General Baptist Convention of Texas. Strengthening ties with Harvard underscores Baylor's resolve to chart a different course from the denomination's ardently conservative leadership."

5. Read about a church pastored by a fellow who went to Truett. Warning - strong language used by members. Here's one that can be printed on FR: " Like other Ecclesia members, Kevin Hartley refuses to censor himself from what conservative Christians frequently demonize. "
