Tom Buck’s “I told you so” tweet:
In November of 2019, when @SEBTS was hiring Karen Prior, I privately objected to @DannyAkin and @kswhitfield. In my objection, I cited Karenās past endorsement of Revoice and ongoing endorsement of Sprinkleās ministry. I pointed them to the article (linked below) on Sprinkleās website where Preston promotes āLGBT Christiansā living together as ācelibate partners.ā The article and Karenās written endorsement of the ministry appear on the same website, which had even more troubling articles. In spite of the article, Whitfield defended and supported Karenās endorsement of Sprinkleās ministry. SEBTS hired her anyway and her endorsement continued throughout her employment. Karenās endorsement said/says āwe need resources, teaching, and counsel that speak the truth in love for these times. This is what you’ll find at the Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender.ā One could only assume that this article is one of the resources that gives the teaching and counsel Prior endorses. Although Akin and Whitfield would likely disagree with this article, thereās no indication that they donāt continue to support Sprinkleās ministry and it seems they continued to be ok with Priorās endorsement. I am glad Karen will no longer be at SEBTS. She shouldāve never been hired in the first place. But Akin and Whitfield hired her with full knowledge of the endorsement of Sprinkleās ministry and defended it. In a real sense, Prior is not the problem. She didnāt hide who she was. Her endorsements were public and for the world to see. The men who hired her are the problem and they need to be held accountable. The drift is real!
