I thought the most fascinating story in the NYT was "Feeling Strains, Baptist Colleges Cut Church Ties," by Alan Finder, about Baptist liberal arts colleges breaking away from State Baptist Conventions, some of the telling quotes include:
Dr. Crouch said. “I sat for 25 years and watched my denomination
become much more narrow and, in terms of education, much more interested in indoctrination.’’
and
Professor Key said. “In fundamentalism, you have all the truths. In
education, you’re searching for truths.’’and:
Dr. York asked the college to look for a religion professor who would teach theologically conservative positions.
“You ought to have some professor on your faculty who believes
Adam and Eve were the first humans, that they actually existed,’’ Dr. York said.
Isn't that broad minded tolerant fundamentalism akin to wild eyed Islamic clerics exhorting crowds to act mindlessly to destroy the infidels? But the colleges are breaking away in many cases.
Paul and I walked downtown today. On the way we found oursevles passing by hundres of pro-Palestine, anti Israel Arabs. Then we found ourselves with them as they marched across the Michigan avenue bridge chanting FREE FREE PALESTINE (we were not chanting).
I bought a BED in a BAG at Carsons, that way I don't need to expend thought on color coordination.
