In an interview with Baptist Press, Patterson denied the allegations the seminary made in the 2021 SBC Book of Reports. He also denied he and others have a to divert donations away from the seminary to the Sandy Creek Foundation, his personal nonprofit organization.
In a statement to Baptist Press, Adam W. Greenway, who succeeded Patterson as Southwestern’s president, asserted: “Southwestern Seminary has told the truth.”
