Re: Sattler College Turmoil
Arguing against S&T for “reformed” and “Protestant” influence is equivalent to arguing against FotW for “Stone-Campbell” influence. The allegation might be true, but I don’t like how it’s some kind of automatic trump card, and if it is, we should be able to immediately write off a group that app...
