JACK GRAHAM CRITICIZES FIRING

Jack Graham, who admits he supports the so called “conservative resurgence” broke ranks with his fellow fundamentalists and issued a statement criticizing the firing of Russell Dilday.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Graham said the way Dilday was dismissed only fuels the belief that conservatives are “unloving and mean-spirited.” The seminary’s board of trustees, he said, “showed very little, if any, compassion.”

T. Bob Davis, a seminary trustee and member of Graham’s church, Prestonwood Baptist, in Dallas, rejected Graham’s criticism.

“I’m disappointed in his taking a political stance when the board has acted in good judgment,” the Dallas dentist said.
