Evangelical Quakers have organized services and pastors - they're basically like Unitarians or other Protestant sects, and they're more common on the West Coast, where Nixon was from.<BR/><BR/>When most people think Quakers, they think of traditional Hicksite Quakers, like William Penn, with the silent Meetings and plain Meetinghouses, more common in the MidAtlantic/New England area.<BR/><BR/>Plus, you know, bombing Cambodia = not very Friendly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-1620110165860355432008-09-01T18:45:00.000-07:002008-09-01T18:45:00.000-07:00The "Catholics are not Christians" thing is one th...The "Catholics are not Christians" thing is one that comes up around here from time to time.

Where as if they'd open their eyes they'd see that under the same criteria, half of their own church memberships aren't Christian either...<BR/><BR/>I'm rather shocked if this is a movement - mostly because of some of the horror stories of residence hall life I've heard from friends who went to secular universities... If there is a movement I have the feeling its more in reaction to what has happened on campuses in the recent past than as a proactive movement on their part (though I find that if there really is a movement to "take over" the residence hall leadership - that's not necessarily what I think we need to be working towards as Christians)...<BR/><BR/>an anonymous reader whom went to an Evangelical college that was pretty cool with a lot of things you wouldn't expect... and doesn't like evangelicalism getting a bad name on account of a subcategory of evangelical...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-51981477838066555122008-08-28T21:20:00.000-07:002008-08-28T21:20:00.000-07:00An "away practice"?

It reflects no knowledge of church history. I have noticed that a lot of people don't notice when others say this. I'll be watching tv with a group and someone on tv will say that, so of course I roll my eyes or shake my head. Normally, I'm the only one who noticed the comment. So, I'd say that a lot of people don't know about that. <BR/><BR/>As for the res-life thing - that is very interesting. I went to a church-affiliated college, but that wasn't so much the case back then. There was a group/type of RA who had been camp counselors, sometimes at a church camp. I guess this doesn't surprise me all that much when I think of the mission of certain universities like Patrick Henry or Liberty. It makes sense that this push would happen at other universities, particularly the evil secular variety. "Spreading the Word" is an activist position, and what better location to place evangelizers.k8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07547334819703279971noreply@blogger.com
