Mind of Christ Outshines the Culture
by Benjamin Hawkins
Believers should not incorporate culture into the church, President Paige Patterson said during Southwestern’s fall 2009 convocation chapel service, Aug. 20.
“Don’t try to figure out how much you can be like the culture; try to figure out how you can have the mind of Christ and minister to the culture,” Patterson said.
Earlier in chapel, Craig Blaising, executive vice president and provost, introduced the seminary’s newly appointed and elected faculty and staff members: Kevin Ensley, elected vice president for business administration; Waylan Owens, elected dean of the School of Educational Ministries; Michael Whitlock, appointed instructor of theology in the College at Southwestern; and Adam Groza, director of admissions granted faculty status in the College at Southwestern to teach world religions and philosophy.
Additionally, newly elected faculty member Karen Kennemur signed the seminary’s book of confessional heritage, indicating her agreement with the Baptist Faith and Message 2000. She will serve as assistant professor of children’s ministry.
