SEBTS To Remove All References to Johnny Hunt, Paige Patterson from Seminary
In a letter sent to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary students, SEBTS President Danny Akin revealed that he and the Southeastern cabinet were discussing the use of well-known SBC leader and former SBC president Johnny Hunt’s name on “various parts of the life of the seminary” and that he made the decision to remove Hunt’s name from any association with “programs, facilities and other items.”
The move came after a bombshell report made credible accusations that Hunt was involved in sexual predations a decade ago against another pastor’s wife, allegations which Hunt denies. Furthermore, Akin also spoke to the Board of Trustees for the seminary and informed them of his intention to remove references to Paige Patterson as well, specifically to have “Patterson Hall renamed.
For a quick recap, Paige Patterson was the fiery revivalist and co-architect of the Conservative Resurgence and former president of SEBTS and the SBC. Since his rise to power, Patterson carried broad and popular appeal with run-of-the-mill fire and brimstone Baptist preachers. Patterson’s commitment to Scriptural Inerrancy and his role as one of the commanding generals of the Conservative Resurgence that swept the moderate-progressives from the denomination in the late eighties and early nineties, protected him from the consequences of his problematic leadership for years.
An old war-horse of conservative evangelicalism, he even managed to garner support in his miscalculations, such as enrolling a Muslim in SEBTS without prior trustee approval in 2012, promoting the historically untenable and ridiculous idea of an Anabaptist origin of the Southern Baptist Convention, installing a stained glass window of Rick Warren in the SEBTS chapel, letting Eastern Orthodox idolaters preach on campus as though they were Christians, questionable personnel decisions.
Ultimately what did him in was the support of sexual predator Darrell Gilyard and a couple of comments construed as anti-woman and racist.
Akin says that he has mulled over the decision to erase Patterson’s name from the seminary for some time, and given the current climate of accountability, no longer feels it is “proper” to name his name on the building.
