Thanks for the apology

Back in 1980 Bob Jones III, president of fundamentalist Bob Jones University, was with a group of Fundie pastors urging President Carter to not extend the Civil Rights Act to sexual Minorities. As part of his comments Jones called for homosexuals to be stoned.

This past week Jones, now University Chancellor, apologized. It looks to be genuine, not the sort that says, "sorry you were offended." He says that statement 35 years ago was reckless and does not fit his theology or his beliefs. It looks pretty clear he won't say it again. So thank you for your apology.

But...

His reference to sinners implies (but does not state) he still considers homosexuality to be a sin. And I'm pretty sure (as are a lot of commenters) that the BJU policies concerning gay people have not changed. Jones didn't go far enough.
