Baptist leaders to start seminary - Jim Jones, Star-Telegram

Former leaders of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and other Baptist leaders have announced plans to start a new technology-based theological school in the Fort Worth-Dallas area next year. Forty-five Baptists, including former Southwestern Seminary President Russell Dilday, met at an Arlington hotel June 27 and heard plans for the new school, which would be named for B.H. Carroll, founder of Southwestern seminary.... Buildings would be kept at a minimum, although a headquarters for professors and administrators would be established between Fort Worth and Dallas. The school would utilize the Internet, e-mail and other long-distance learning technology. Training would include lectures, group discussions and face-to-face contact with qualified mentors in a network of "teaching churches."
