Dr. Benson

This past week those of us in Searcy were presented with a newspaper article that made us wince. The article quoted a former Harding president concerning integration. Unless I am mistaken, all the quotes were from the late 50's and early 60's.
The paper pointed to the fact that when this issue first came up Dr. Benson was very strongly against integration. To his credit, the article went on to say that he later changed his view and Harding was one of the first schools of higher education in Arkansas to integrate.

The part of the article that I will always remember was when it said that Dr. Benson used Scripture to support his stance on segregation. I hope he was misquoted. But here is what grabbed my by the throat and shook me a little.......and I want to leave it with you.

In a whisper I want to ask.... Is there any positon or stance that we are taking at the present that we believe is based on the Scripture, that 40 years from now will make us cringe?
I pray not, but at the same time realize history is not on our side.
