Camp Update 2

The Baptist & Reflector, the statewide newspaper of the Tennessee Baptist Convention, has published a half-apology by editor Lonnie Wilkey to Lipscomb University theology professor Dr. Lee Camp for a column Wilkey wrote last week criticiing Camp based on a Tennessean newspaper article which took something Dr. Camp said grossly out of context.

For the background read these two posts:
"Brief news stories can seldom do justice to substantive conversations." - Nov. 30
Camp Update - Dec. 1
Judge Not - Dec. 7

I'm calling Wilkey's follow-up a half-apology because, well, because that is what it is. In effect, Wilkey says, "Dr. Camp says he was taken out of context. I don't know if that's true, but if it is, it is Dr. Camp's fault."

The B&R doesn't give readers any quotes from Dr. Camp's response to The Tennessean, but at least Wilkey tells his readers where to find it on the web.
