My just for fun post on Categorizing Traditions grew out of this post--what is close enough Wesleyan to hire at a Wesleyan college outside the religion division? Just me thinking out loud though--such decisions are too wonderful for me, who can know them :-)Ken Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745548537303356655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-3012770344765957692010-01-26T14:38:15.676-05:002010-01-26T14:38:15.676-05:00I’m surprised no one has found this post worthy of...I’m surprised no one has found this post worthy of discussion, since there are a number of issues at play here<br />1. Censorship &<br />2. Privacy, of course <br />3. What should be done to protect orthodoxy: (and) How is this defined? Will any school (such as the new C. S. Lewis College in New England, if my memory is serving me well enough) allow for a “mere Christianity” approach which would allow both Protestants and Catholics on staff? I know that Notre Dame already does this, as do many others, I’m sure. I’m thinking of schools such as Wheaton, or conservative Protestant denominational schools. <br />4. What school administrations should do to keep denominational purity from being corrupted. Maybe this is no big deal, but conservatives used to say if you want to keep a ___________ school what it is, don’t hire anyone who is not a member of the ___________ church. In our post-denominational age (some say this is not true) will the ability to maintain our identities be lost? <br />5. Whether or not we can see these kinds of battles continuing to happen in conservative schools in this century. <br />My two cents, anyway...John Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01584577160006751298noreply@blogger.com
