They know they can't kill what is already in the public domain, but there have been many, many internal documents meant for peers rather than the public, and if these had any hint of "racism," I'm sure they were shredded long ago. It's hard to do this in the Internet age. Even if pastors and theologians have private email lists, there is always somebody watching. James Jordan discovered this when, on the Biblical Horizons Yahoo group, he used the word "shit" to refer to R.C. Sproul Jr.'s thought processes. And while one can hardly fault him for his discernment, he thought his comment would be private. You make a very good point there.

We struck up a conversation because of our mutual love for Dabney, but believe it or not, he had never heard of "A Defense of Virginia." The churches and seminaries are deathly embarrassed of that great work of art. I can truthfully say that it is one of the two or three books that changed my life.

WE can't have young christians read that stuff! Or better, burn the books of Dabney and other theologians who would have something to say other than prop up today's globalized prole-plantation.

"He was a man. No sham - a MAN." I'm proud and humbled to have walked the grounds he walked, sat in classrooms wherein he taught, had dinner in the house he built, placed flowers upon his grave, and had his words occupy my mind and heart. "Peace to the just man's memory; let it grow Greener with years, and blossom through the flight Of ages; let the mimic canvas show His calm benevolent features; let the light Stream on his deeds of love, that shunned the sight Of all but heaven, and in the book of fame The glorious record of his virtues write And hold it up to men, and bid them claim A palm like his, and catch from him the hallowed flame." Wm. Cullen Bryant, "The Ages" Robert Lewis Dabney is probably the most precious mortal jewel God’s Church has ever had. “He was a man. No sham – a MAN.”

“Peace to the just man’s memory; let it grow
Greener with years, and blossom through the flight
Of ages; let the mimic canvas show
His calm benevolent features; let the light
Stream on his deeds of love, that shunned the sight
Of all but heaven, and in the book of fame
The glorious record of his virtues write
And hold it up to men, and bid them claim
A palm like his, and catch from him the hallowed flame.”

Maybe wait until there's some sort of HTML formatting and then remind us again to check it out. Looks like “The greatest website in the world” still needs a bit of work.
