In the Feb. 18 ABP story, “New Orleans Seminary delays SBC effort to consolidate control,” please replace the 16th graph with the following paragraph. The attorney hired by the seminary was mistakenly identified as Greg Irwin. Richard Wolfe was the attorney hired.
The seminary hired Richard Wolfe, an expert in Louisiana corporate law, as a consultant, Kelley said. Wolfe advised the trustees that protections for the SBC as spelled out in the seminary's current charter would be sustained by Louisiana law, Kelley said, while changing to a sole membership arrangement might weaken the SBC's position as it relates to liability. Wolfe passionately believes the move would increase liability for the SBC in the case of an ascending liability lawsuit, Kelley said.
