    The Reformed Baptist theologian "came to Birmingham in 1988 to start a divinity school on the campus of Samford University....the first divinity school at a Baptist college or university in the United States.":

    "'I think back over these past 30 years eucharistically,' George said. 'Eucharist is one word for the holy meal Jesus gave to his disciples, but it also means thanksgiving. Grace and gratitude are closely related. God’s blessing on Beeson Divinity School for the past three decades calls us to reflect on both.'"

    Huh?? Maybe by that title, but Baptist graduate schools have been in existence long before 1988. What's the difference between a "divinity" school and a seminary\graduate school?
