NOBTS found it important in the current atmosphere to emphasize they had considered minority candidates. I offer no criticism of this emphasis, but suspect it will not lessen the criticism of not hiring a minority candidate.
The committee launched its efforts with a time of focused prayer in November 2018. Later, they called on Southern Baptists to nominate qualified individuals.
Cox said the committee received many nominations from Southern Baptists including three African American nominees and one Hispanic nominee. In total, the committee carefully reviewed 20 candidates.
The committee considered all the candidates equally, regardless of age or ethnicity. According to Cox, one of the four finalists for the nomination was African American and was interviewed extensively by the committee. The top candidates ranged in age from 42 to 63.
Dew nominated to lead New Orleans Seminary

But the most important question (for some):

Dr. Jamie? That's a man, not a woman, right?
