Amphibiuary Day 26: Honorary

Much like caecillians, slow worms are compared to worms (they are little snakes!) They also have an amphibi-esque slippery look to them, if that makes any sort of sense

Regina and Angela 👑👑

Angela Bassest definitely earned her Honorary Oscar for her amazing work as an actress over the decades but she should still win one as well. Don't think this makes up for not giving her an Oscar last year.

And Bob Jones III announced the BJU honorary for 2023 at ~35:00:

Mr. President, our honoree was born in Arizona, grew up on a Navajo Indian Reservation where his mother served as missionary. After graduating from BJU, where he was greatly influenced by Doctor Richard Rupp and Dr. Earl Nutz of the Bible Faculty and Cecil Tune, his aviation instructor, under whom he earned his pilot's license, which has been valuable in his ministry to those who live on reservations. His summers while a BJU student were spent at Camp Ironwood in California and the Roloff Homes in Texas with men who struggled with addiction.

After getting a Bachelors of Arts in Practical Christian Training from this institution in 1984, he returned to Arizona to the ministry he has never left. He serves as a missionary to Native Americans at Regeneration Reservation in southeastern Arizona. He founded and continues to pasture Regeneration Baptist Church while serving as president of the Regeneration Mission Board. Our honoree and his wife Kathy, along with several other missionaries, all Bob Jones University grads and including their son Nathan, minister in a variety of ways including a home and Christian education for Apache children at the reservation to build redemptive relationships within the local community. He has served as volunteer with the fire department and the county Search and Rescue.

His family earned Black Belts in martial arts, which have opened numerous doors for ministry. Their summer camps, comprised of horsemanship, martial arts and rock climbing, have opened other doors to the hearts of young people. For four decades, he and his team continued to make evangelistic visits to preach to those in tribal jails. They use biblically based recovery materials, which they have written especially for the Native American community. Our honoree serves on the Apache Bible Committee, tasked with translating God's Word into the heart language of Apache people. Currently, he and his team are working at recording the entire New Testament in Western Apache. At the request of tribal leadership, our honoree hosts a weekly radio program that reaches over 30,000 people onto Apache reservations. He established and coordinates a partnership of Native American leaders called Today's Native, which are committed to developing evangelistic and discipleship resources. This platform of reaching Native Americans and indigenous people groups with the Gospel consists of audio, video and print resources. They have reached each of the Nation’s 574 tribes and have placed the Gospel in more than 125,000 native homes. Additionally, he is Vice President of the Roloff Evangelistic Enterprises, where he has been a board member for over 30 years, and since 2016, he has overseen the Family Altar radio program emanating from that ministry and is heard daily nationwide and in many foreign countries. Scott and his wife Kathy, a 1984 graduate from BJU with a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Missions, have four children and one granddaughter.

I might add that as an example of his persevering commitment to God's calling, I remember visiting Scott in the mid 1980s, near the inception of his ministry. [He said that] they would consider their ministry to have been a success if they had seen only four Navajo families get saved, become disciples and remain on the reservation to live transformed, biblically sanctified lives without spiritual or moral failure among their people. Today, for Scott's unrelenting efforts to bring the Gospel of Christ to an often overlooked group of people through a lifetime of dedicated ministry, Dr. Pettit, it is my purpose to present to you, my friend Scott Murphy, as recipient of Doctor of Humanities.

Where do we begin? Bob Jones University has supported Lester Roloff in all his iterations from the beginning. WMUU carried his radio show. Bob Jr. spoke at his funeral. Bob III made affirming statements at the time:

And the proof of Lester Roloff's abuse is everywhere:

And the abuse of indigenous children is rampant and still coming to light.

Why, why, why is Bob Jones University endorsing these kinds of practices still in 2023?

This is Bob Jones University. This. Right here. On Steve Pettit's watch, btw.

Ahmaud Arbery’s Hometown Renames Street To Honor Him

The hometown of Ahmaud Arbery unveils new street signs honoring him. The town of Brunswick, Georgia, renamed a section of road that runs through the city’s Black community to honor Arbery, the young Black man who was fatally shot in 2020 after being chased by three white men.

At a celebration attended by dozens of residents including Arbery’s parents, the first two signs recognizing Honorary Ahmaud Arbery Street were unveiled as the crowd chanted “Long live Ahmaud Arbery!” Brunswick commissioners voted to rename the street with a resolution proclaiming he’d become “a symbol of strength and unity within our community.”

Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones says the moment was bittersweet. She still mourns her son’s death, but is proud of all that’s been accomplished in his name. Since his Feburary 2020 murder, additional penalties for crimes motivated by race, religion, sexual orientation or other factors have been adopted and a century-old law allowing citizen arrests has been gutted. She hopes the street renaming will help keep her son’s memory alive. “Please promise me you guys will always say his name,” she says.
