"Let me make something crystal clear this morning: If the people in the pews are biblically illiterate and "out to lunch" with regard to a Christian worldview, the blame lies in the pulpit. It is the fault and the responsibility of the pastors. Now that I have said that, those pastors (at least a large majority of them) have attended seminary. So when everything is said and done, I am more than willing to allow the buck to stop right here with this president and this faculty. We cannot change what has happened in the past, but we can absolutely make a difference about what happens in the future."

you don't go to southeastern...
Dan, It is a good thing that you told Ben he doesn't go to Southeastern...he might have become confused otherwise. I would say that Danny made quite a bold statement there, and as Ben says--True dat.
I went back and read the transcript of one of Akin's chapel messages, which was recorded in the SEBTS Journal that I got when I did take 2 classes there in '04. Sorry for the confusion everyone.
