From Sept.'s Christianity Today, "Two Degrees of Separation"

"It is obvious the [conservative resurgence in the] SBC is a work in progress," John Greening, the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC) national representative, said.

He applauded the SBC International Mission Board for deciding missionaries would not be permitted to practice a private prayer language.

Greening also said no evangelical has done more to "blur the distinction between evangelicals and Catholics than Billy Graham," whom the SBC recently honored ...

Blurring the distinction, oh, like three years ago when Rev. Graham told Larry King: “He (the Pope) and I agree on almost everything.” Boy, that’s gotta ruffle some feathers, eh?

"degrees" must be a pun, in that schools are involved.
