Long time no post. Good to see all my acts brothers and sisters on this board. Haven’t had much to say lately, but this juicy nugget was too good to pass up.this is a conspiracy theory- its a little more conspiracy than theory but here you go.1- This is the 100 yr celebration of Lee2- 100 is a nice year to end on3- Mark Walker has been added as a VP and its assumed he will be president4- The pres position at Lee is appointed by the COG 5- This is an assembly year and it would be a natural time for an exit and replacement6- If walker isn’t ready yet, would Walt could come back for a brief time to serve as pres.Again, these are just hypothetical points of discussion because this board is slow. I have no concrete information about this happening. I hope PC stays until he’s 100 and i think all names mentioned would be great replacements.
It would be great to get a President of Lee that would return it to conservative values and turn over the Princeton humanism that has infiltrated it and ran off countless conservative families in recent years. That’s my opinion and I’m sure its not popular here. I do like PC for a lot of reasons, his speaking skills being one of them, but the changes in recent years with all of the democratic party affiliated profs and Princeton theology has removed them from consideration for my children (and I am sad about that). The liberal,humanistic leanings of the “new Lee†are just a few of the reasons why I would not allow my daughter to consider it when she was visiting schools. The leadership of Lee, in fact the COG executive leadership as well owes a huge apology to the hard working men and women who sacrificed so much to build Lee into what was once a great institution________________“Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”
The President of Lee University is not appointed by the Executive Committee.The position is under the control of the Lee University Board of Directors.
I don’t think PC is leaving for a while.He is healthy and obviously loves the job…probably too old to take on a new challenge.Probably has earned the right to name his own terms for when he leaves and who his successor shall be________________
Re: The Flaw In Your Theory
This is correct. The Board could appoint OTCP and the COG couldn’t do squat about it!
This is correct. The Board could appoint OTCP and the COG couldn’t do squat about it! They are more likely to appoint Oprah, just sayin’ Oprah. Just think of all the donations and the names on the new buildings. The mind just races with names like Obama Hall and Bernie Sanders School of Theology, or the Barbara Streisand School of Music and the Clinton Administrative Buildings (one for Bill and one for Hilary). Don’t forget the Snoop Dog Basketball Center.

I am a product of Lee, and I’m proud of it. I’m proud that Lee brought in instructors that are different than the COG norm. They challenged me in new ways. For example, on one end of the spectrum, I had Dr. Jerald Daffe, who was also my advisor for the Pastoral Ministry program. He’s about as conservative as they come. The other end was Dr. William Effler, straight out of the Presbyterian Church in Southern California. They were both my 2 favorite professors. They didn’t contradict each other, but they both brought different challenging perspectives that I benefited from. Most of our COG kids have grown up in our churches, and likely only 1 church. While I love my church, that’s a single perspective.. a single experience to pull from. In today’s day and age, that’s simply not going to cut it. We have to provide our students viewpoints outside the COG box. I’m proud that Lee is challenging our kids with new perspectives. I’ll be proud when my now 12 year old goes there. She went to Homecoming with us a few years ago and so far hasn’t changed her mind about following in our footsteps. Further, I’d recommend the naysayers to put up or shut up. If you have a problem with Lee, try reaching out to some of the leaders there and talk about it. I’m sure you will find them professional and accommodating________________———My Facebook http://www.facebook.com/theB3
