FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Trustees at a Baptist seminary have put it in writing: They will not tolerate any promotion of speaking in tongues on their campus.
The 36-1 vote Tuesday came nearly two months after the Rev. Dwight McKissic of Arlington said during a chapel service that he sometimes speaks in tongues while praying. Paige Patterson, president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, responded by not allowing the video of McKissic’s sermon to be posted online or saved in the seminary’s archives.
The former William Fenrick changed his name earlier this year to Andy Griffith — the name of the actor who portrayed the fictional Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry on TV’s “The Andy Griffith Show” in the 1960s.
