Bush library, institute for SMU get support: Opponents raise ethical concerns

A regional group of United Methodist bishops has affirmed the process surrounding the possible placement of President George W. Bush’s library and policy center on the grounds of Southern Methodist University.

The bishops, who represent United Methodists in the south central United States, adopted a resolution February 5 at a quarterly meeting with SMU president Gerald Turner. The resolution praised Turner’s “careful stewardship and advocacy of the historic relationship between the university and the church.”
