Another German theologian, Martin Niemolar, was not as quick as Bonhoeffer to recognize that evil. His famous quote, which I will not reproduce here, laments that when Hitler came after various groups of people he did not speak up because he was not one of them and by the time they came after him there was no one left to speak up for him. I in no way want to compare the horrors of Nazi Germany with what has happened in the SBC over the past 25 years, but the principle is the same. I see that one of the IMB trustees has made public his "concerns" about Wade Burleson's positions as an IMB trustee including non IMB issues. When they came after Russell Dilday, Wade did not speak in his defense. When they came after Richard Jackson, Wade did not speak up. When they came after Milton Ferguson, Wade stood by and held their coats. Now that they are coming after him, is there anyone of influence left who will stand up for him?
