So today in my mailbox at Westminster I got a letter from Dr. Lillback. Well, not actually a letter as he probably wouldn’t recognize me as a student, but a form letter. You (if you are a student) got one as well. This letter reads like a cross between Bill Clinton’s infamous “what does ‘is’ mean” speech during Monicagate and a fund raising letter for Benny Hinn Ministries. In short its appears that Lillback is feigning a left of spiritual culpability and countering with his intended frontal assault at the board meeting. His blame is found, according to him, with the fact that he has not been more forthright with releasing information to the students. The most interesting thing about this is that the letter wasn’t accompanied by anything else. There was no explanation of the events over the last three years in the letter, and no hint of what will happen from his end. After the mea culpa I would have thought that there would have been a little ”dico hunc” but no, zip, nada….just silence. I, therefore tend to interpret this not as a sincere move, but as a politically timed jab,keeping us in suspense just a bit longer, so the board can meet and they can fire Enns and begin to turn the seminary into another RTS. Dr. Lillback, I mean come on man. I’m not a genius but this just doesn’t seem horribly genuine. Release the report you have already prepared for the board as well as the majority opinion drafted by the faculty in support of Enns. Lets read it and discuss it before the board meets. Don’t just talk about “transparency” BE TRANSPARENT! Otherwise I’m really going to struggle to believe you. As my daddy used to say…I was born at night, but it wasn’t last night.
