No Woman, No Lie

This is a Southwestern Ad. You think this Girl will ever get a job at the institution that trained her?

Dr. Sherri Klouda was my Hebrew professor at The Criswell College. She was really good to me. I remember her most because I took her final exam the day after my oldest son, Trent, was born. She knew how tired I was, and allowed me to have a little extra time to complete the exam. I made a "B" on it and earned a "B" in her class. I always liked her a lot.

Anyway, I tell you all of this because Dr. Klouda was involved in an unfortunate set of circumstances at Soutwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. She was let go because of her gender. I find this very unfortunate for many reasons. Dr. Klouda was not an ordained minister, was not teaching or preaching at a church and was not teaching her interpretation of the Bible. She was simply teaching a language, and teaching it well, I might add.

Man, I'm glad I'm no longer in the Baptist loop. It's certainly not bad to be a Baptist, but these kinds of goings on at Baptist institutions have given the denomonation a bad name. It's a real shame.

You can read about Dr. Klouda's plight here. Dr. Klouda has been hired by Taylor University to teach Hebrew. Good for her.
