Searching for meaning in all the wrong places
To me, the most interesting part of this report is this. The rest has been going on for decades, before the Scopes trials even.
“Evangelicalism has a tendency to devour its young,” says Daniel Harlow, a religion professor at Calvin College, a Christian Reformed school that subscribes to the fall of Adam and Eve as a central part of its faith.
“You get evangelicals who push the envelope, maybe; they get the courage to work in sensitive, difficult areas,” Harlow says. “And they get slapped down. They get fired or dismissed or pressured out.”

Maybe the church will finally discover a way not to devour its young?
lol…your comment is more than I ever managed to blog about.
