PUBLIC APOLOGY to be Given by First Baptist Church of Bolivar, Missouri Baptist Convention and Southwest Baptist University on KYOO Sun, Sept 7 or 14

In lieu of the Preliminary Agreement that was to be finalized by August 31, 2008, Marie has allowed for a carefully-worded PUBLIC APOLOGY.

In light of concerns that Marie's request for an investigation could easily lead to the dismissal of 12 to 20 Southwest Baptist University administrators, faculty and staff and (at least) one third of the Southwest Baptist University Board of Trustees (as well as some within the Southern Baptist and Missouri Baptist Convention leadership) [see details here], Marie has revised her letter to the First Baptist Church of Bolivar, Missouri.

Instead of the Preliminary Agreement, which was to have been signed on August 31, 2008, Marie is requesting a carefully-worded and brief ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and PUBLIC APOLOGY, which will be:

• delivered during the second morning service of the First Baptist Church of Bolivar Sunday morning service
• broadcast on KYOO radio (1200 AM and 99.1 FM)
  
• between 10:45 and noon
  
• on Sunday, September 7, 2008 and/or Sunday 14, 2008.

The nature of this APOLOGY is discussed in the REVISED letter to the First Baptist Church of Bolivar, which is to be HAND-DELIVERED and partially posted on this week to the First Baptist Church of Bolivar.
