Invisibility Cloak Works!

The day is down to its last event, which I cannot attend, but Cedarville has managed to keep the Soulforce visit to C.U.'s desired agenda. I did hear most of a panel discussion in the afternoon, and marveled as C.U.'s presenters and their well reasoned and organized presentations were met with...feelings (whoa oh oh feelings). Every Soulforce member talked about what they felt, how they feel, about every issue. When asked to offer a response to the Scriptures cited by Dr. Chris Miller (go Chris!) about homosexuality, Soulforce's "Christian" spokesman cited a few Scriptures on love and refused to get into a discussion on the cited texts. This was all the more amazing because their sponsor, Mel White, has been in the forefront of offering impressive sounding but ultimately vacuous arguments that seek to gut the words of any normal meaning.

There were quite a few students at the discussion I attended, but more disturbing was the presence of some "out and proud" C.U. alumni. Everyone knows that C.U. has alumni who move away from what the school would believe and hold as true. Nevertheless, it was bizarre hearing one of these alums get up and make the statement that he was there to show you could be a C.U. alum, a Christian, gay, and well-adjusted.

I still don't know if this would have been my choice, but I rejoice to see the immediate results seem positive. I pray that the continuing results will be, as well.
