Volunteers put together 20 storage sheds for Hispanic Baptist Theological School. HBTS volunteers make more storage
SAN ANTONIO–Forty volunteers from 10 churches spent the first week of June building 20 storage sheds at Hispanic Baptist Theological School.
The 8-by-10-foot sheds will be used by students living on campus and by the school to store seasonal items, donations to the Agape House clothing ministry, library materials and maintenance equipment.
The volunteers are part of a newly formed group called Lone Star Builders.

TEXAS BAPTIST FORUM
Tricky numbersPaige Patterson generally is being credited with great success at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (June 30). I must disagree.
He has led in academic flim-flam. For proof, ask any Southern Baptist if he has heard of Southeastern College at Wake Forest. I doubt if you will find one in 50 who has. The college was begun at Southeastern Seminary in 1994 under Patterson's leadership and is one of the new undergraduate endeavors that fundamentalist leaders are operating under the auspices of the Southern Baptist Convention seminaries.
E-mail the editor at marvknox@baptiststandard.com According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, in the fall of 2001, Southeastern had a total enrollment of 2,044, of whom 556 were undergraduates. That same academic year, about one-third of the degrees awarded were undergraduate. Keep your eyes open for Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary's undergraduate program, especially if the seminary's numbers begin to falter.
