The Dallas Morning News reports the Bush Library at SMU is practically a done deal. United Methodists on the local level seem to be divided on this. There are those who vehemently oppose having the library at SMU, there are those who fervently support the proposal, and there are many who couldn’t care less either way. I have a few thoughts on the subject, but as I’ve said before in private correspondence with some of you, I’m waiting until I’m a full elder to take any major stands on the blog!
In a strange way it reminds me of the validity of baptism argument during the early church. Does the baptism stand if the priest recants under persecution? The baptism stands because the sanctity rests in the holiness of God, not the priest.
George W. Bush is a human who has fallen short of the glory of God, as I have. He is not the perfect man that some put forth, nor is he the evil one that others proclaim. I think this library will be an incredible gift to the SMU campus.
Hey Wendy! Way to wade in on a non-controversial topic! 🙂
Thanks for your thoughts.
