Trustees reprimand Land, halt radio program over comments

Two reprimands have been issued to Richard Land by the trustee executive committee of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. The ERLC trustee committee also is terminating Land’s weekly call-in radio show, which was the venue where he made comments about the Trayvon Martin killing that ignited intense controversy, prompting the formation of a trustee ad hoc investigative committee. The ERLC, led by Land since 1998, must “redouble our efforts … to heal re-opened wounds,” the executive committee stated.
