Judge rules against female seminary professor.

The article reports that U.S. District Judge John McBryde of Fort Worth, Texas has ruled against Sheri Klouda, former professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary who said she was dismissed because of her gender. According to McBryde, the seminary was within its rights when it decided not to renew the contract of Klouda in 2006. It states that this case highlights the tension over the role of women in the largely conservative Southern Baptist Convention.
