Southern and Asbury Seminaries Sue Over Biden Vaccine Mandate
posted on November 8, 2021Kate Shellnutt of Christianity Today reports, “The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Asbury Theological Seminary are among the first major Christian institutions to legally challenge COVID-19 vaccine requirements issued by the Biden administration.” The two are the largest seminaries in the Southern Baptist and Methodist traditions. Ryan Bangert, an attorney representing the seminaries, said, “The Biden administration’s decision to mandate vaccines through an OSHA emergency rule is unlawful and compels employers like our clients to intrude on their employees’ personal health decisions and divert resources from their important mission of training future ministers.”
