There are more outrageous doings in the land than we have had opportunity to reveal.

It has now come to light that Al Mohler, Mark Dever and others have conspired to honor a most wicked man by the name of Duke McCall. A welcome pavilion—yes, you read correctly—a welcome pavilion! was named after him, and worse still, kind things were said about him during the ceremonies.

This almost slipped by without notice and very nearly deprived us of an occasion to express our disapproval, but Agent Doran of the Detroit Office exposed this mind-boggling departure from the faith.

This is what boggles my mind. Here you find a staunch theological conservative (Al Mohler), backed by other staunch conservatives (e.g., chairman of the SBTS board, Mark Dever), naming a pavilion in honor of a man whose service at SBTS produced the mess which Mohler is credited for reversing. Recognizing him at the event is one thing, but naming a pavilion after him? What biblical justification can there be for something like this?

I think it is fair to assume that Dr. Doran and Detroit Seminary will be not be extending the right hand of fellowship toward the SBC for much longer. Fundamentalistic persons must continue to maintain their own high standards of fellowship.

Mark Rogers doesn't know quite what to make of Doran's dudgeon and offers some pretty rickety excuses for this blatant apostasy, but I'm not sure how much of an explanation is really necessary: I think Doran's reasoning pretty much speaks for itself.
