Pastor Rick Warren tweeted early this morning some thoughts that I think are pretty awesome.
Liberal theology has never created any university. It just sucks the life out of those that were started by Bible believers.
Liberal theology cannot sustain a local congregation. It kills churches. In fact,it only survives due to tenured academics.
Go Pastor!!

I am glad Pastor Rick Warren noticed

So many universities (Yale, Harvard, and my own non-Ivy League alma mater) began as Christian institutions devoted to spreading the Gospel and producing ministers. It's truly sad how the Life has been "sucked out of" them.

Liberal Christianity was also, originally, a bunch of puppet-churches that were basically set up in the late 19th century to cheerlead for Prussian imperialism. The actual movement was discredited, but was able to keep its name, because they became the "German Christians" in the 20th century. You know, under the Nazis?

Maybe. Except as one of a dozen or so, that I know of, Catholic scientists at our university..all of us are tenured…and certainly don't support any liberal theologies. I'd ask that people not alienate those on your side in order to malign and name call those you dislike. I assure you we support catholic ministry, are student advisors in faith organizations. You don't hear it, but we do some good work. Maybe that should make the news once in a while, so you know we too exist.
