Fu...Bill, I was thinking the same thing last night. Furthermore, why something a man wrote 50 years ago suddenly becomes an issue. Anyone who has observed him with students knows there is not a hateful bone in his body. Reminds me if Calvin and Servetus. As much men will try Calvin's legacy is not tarnished because he concurred with an act that was far worse than racism.Joseph Pipahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04578141601003076818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934298301663499561.post-60108335255469583082015-06-26T20:59:56.821-04:002015-06-26T20:59:56.821-04:00Thank you for this, Bill. I've known Dr Smith ...Thank you for this, Bill. I've known Dr Smith for 14 years, and have sat under his SS teaching for over 6 years (it was like attending seminary at no charge). I have socialized with him, ridden with him to Presbytery meetings and seen him settle many a contentious issue in those meetings. I have the highest love and respect for him and his gracious wife, Lois. Thanks for going to bat for him when he is in such poor health (and Lois even poorer shape). I don't expect to see him in the Church Eternal--he'll be worshiping in the front pew and I'll be in the back row of the balcony, just grateful to be in the sanctuary. My life has been immensely blessed by his presence and I know I am far from alone. JD WetterlingJD Wetterlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06160951939822978649noreply@blogger.com
