Evangelism school suggested
FORT WORTH–An effort to establish a school of evangelism within Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary is gaining momentum, according to a report published in Baptist Press.
A report written by Philip Barber, a current Southwestern student and associate to North Carolina evangelist Ted Stone, indicates trustees are considering creating such a school.
Barber reported that Stone, a seminary trustee, made a motion at the board's October 2002 meeting that the teaching and practice of evangelism become the seminary's No. 1 priority.
After unanimously affirming Stone's motion, the board appointed Stone and trustees Denny Autrey and David Galvan to determine how best to implement the motion, Barber said.
“At a recent meeting, the committee decided to await the coming of a new seminary president before proceeding with the implementation of Stone's motion,” he added.
The desire for a school of evangelism has been fostered by evangelism professors Roy Fish and Malcolm McDowell, Barber said.
