Glorieta, N.M. — A lawsuit challenging LifeWay Christian Resources’ sale of Glorieta Conference Center in 2013 has been reassigned to a new judge.
In September 2014, U.S. District Judge James Browning in Albuquerque, N.M., upheld most but not all recommendations by U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Hayes Scott to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Kirk and Susie Tompkins of Little Rock, Ark. The couple owns a vacation home on property formerly leased from the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) publisher.
They claim LifeWay officials weren’t authorized to dispose of the 2,400-acre retreat center without SBC approval and that lessees weren’t offered a fair market value for homes.
