Orman Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, 2006 Mentor: Dr. Frank Schmitt A review of current literature indicates that very little material analyzes the processes God used to prepare and then select the unique leadership group, within Evangelical Christianity, known as the Conservative Resurgence Presidents of the Southern Baptist Convention. Many writings have covered the history of the resurgence and some writings have analyzed the biographical history ofthese men. But none to date have integrated these two elements into a specific study of the leadership preparation of this group of leaders along with the office of the president. The primary source of gaining insights into their leadership preparation and abilities shall be through individual personal interviews. Practical leadership suggestions for future presidents and leaders shall be gleaned from this study. The office and function of the office of the president of the Southern Baptist Convention shall also be examined. Possible suggestions to improve the function of the office shall be examined.

    Understanding Tennessee's Racial Realignment and Political Polarization: An Examination of Tennessee Gubernatorial Elections, 1932-2018. by Luke Aaron Arnold A thesis presented to the Honors College of Middle Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the University Honors College Spring 2021 Understanding Tennessee's Racial Realignment and Political Polarization: An Examination of Tennessee Gubernatorial Elections, 1932-2018. By Luke Aaron Arnold APPROVED: ______________________________________ Dr. Jessica Hejny, Thesis Co-Director Professor, Political Science and International Relations ______________________________________ Mr. James Syler, Thesis Co-Director Professor, Political Science and International Relations ______________________________________ Dr. Ennio Piano, Thesis Committee Chair Professor, Economic and Finance ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Jessica Hejny. When I had too many questions and was unsure of a path forward, you worked with me, helping me sort through ideas and strategies. Without your support, I would still be lost, and this would not have been possible. I also had the great pleasure of learning from long-time political strategist Kent Syler. A person can look at newspaper articles all day. However, the value of having an experienced political veteran review for inaccuracies cannot be understated when trying to ensuring an accurate account of the historical-political landscape. Thank you for always providing your perspective. Special thanks to Dr. Sekou Franklin, Chris Sanders, and Adam Haynes, who all helped provide valuable information and insight into the often-unaddressed factors that helped fill in the greater picture of Tennessee politics. You all have extensive political experience, so I thank you for providing much-needed perspective and guidance.

  • April 27Th, 2016 the Honorable Bill Haslam Governor of Tennessee
    April 27th, 2016 The Honorable Bill Haslam Governor of Tennessee Tennessee State Capitol Nashville, TN 37243-0001 Re: Senate Joint Resolution 467 Dear Governor Haslam: On behalf of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition, I write to express our deep concern with SJR467 and to urge you to exercise your constitutional authority to veto this dangerous resolution. SJR467 commits Tennessee taxpayers to costly and frivolous litigation against the federal government over refugee resettlement. It sets bad legal precedent, threatens our global reputation, and betrays our values. The resolution is a clear breach of the separation of powers. The resolution does not simply urge Attorney General Slatery to initiate a lawsuit against the federal government, but “directs” him to do so. While the resolution technically provides Attorney General Slatery with the option to refuse, this is a false choice. SJR467 attempts to coerce Attorney General Slatery into suing the federal government, or risk losing control to an ideological, special interest law firm. This is a clear overreach by the general assembly that threatens the constitutional separation of powers in our state government. The resolution attempts to rewrite legal statutes and circumvent the law. According to Tennessee Code Annotated (T.C.A.) § 8-6-109-110, only the attorney general can pursue litigation on behalf of the state. Specifically, the attorney general is the “state’s sole representative in federal and state court proceedings.” Outside counsel can only be contracted in very limited circumstances and with the authority of the governor and in consultation with the attorney general. No statute authorizes the Tennessee General Assembly to initiate a lawsuit or hire outside counsel on behalf of the state.
