USA: pastor calls SBTS to rename college

Prominent black Southern Baptist pastor Dwight McKissic and others called for the removal of the names of former slaveholders from buildings at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS) on 19 June.

This date, known as Juneteenth, is when many celebrate the anniversary of the day the last group of US slaves were told of their freedom in 1865.

McKissic, who leads Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, wrote that ‘integrity demands that SBTS change the name’ of Boyce College.
