(UMNS) â United Methodist-affiliated Lambuth University announced Feb. 24 that the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has denied the universityâs appeal to restore its accreditation. For now, the university has secured a preliminary injunction order through the U.S. District Court in Atlanta to maintain its accreditation. âThe preliminary injunction order ensures that Lambuth's accreditation remains in force while the university pursues a legal case with SACS and examines other options,â Bill Seymour, the universityâs president, told faculty. Perkins names laity award winner DALLAS (UMNS) â Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University has selected Jackie A. Strange as the 2011 Woodrow B. Seals Laity Award recipient. The award recognizes a U.S. layperson who embodies the Christian faith and service to the church. Strange will receive the award March 5 during the three-day Perkins Theological School for the Laity. Strange, a lifelong United Methodist, served as deputy postmaster general of the U.S. Postal Service from 1985 to 1987.
