From the Christian Post:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Baptist Convention has filed a lawsuit against Belmont University seeking to win back contributions it has made to the school since Baptists began supporting it nearly 55 years ago.
The Southern Baptist organization and the Nashville university have been at odds for almost a year over Belmont’s efforts to diversify its board with more trustees who aren’t Baptists.

The suit filed Friday in Davidson County Chancery Court claims Belmont has received $57 million from the convention’s executive board since 1951 and says the board also paid off more than $1 million in university debts.

The suit seeks damages for all its past contributions and the value of any property or other items given to the university in today’s dollars, plus interest.

"Nobody at the Tennessee Baptist Convention wanted it to come to this point," said James Porch, executive director of the Tennessee Baptist Convention.

Have you ever heard of a church member asking for his or her money back?  I am afraid this sends a bad precedent.  What happens the first time a donor asks for money back from the Baptists?
