It looks like there aren't topics in the Bible that are considered sin anymore, since it is the 21st century, of course. We have to have innovative and creative minded people like Rob Bell speak at OBU so we can just "open our minds" to what we read into the Bible. Typical Modern Day Western "theology"...I wonder who you would like to actually come to speak at chapel, hmm. Anyways, I have more important things to do than be on here...like actually lift people up in word and deep. Not tear them down. Thank you and have a nice day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553998157531916306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524895972705575613.post-35788148017255406912013-04-23T17:16:06.809-05:002013-04-23T17:16:06.809-05:00We'll be taking up the issue of student journa...We'll be taking up the issue of student journalism soon. We addressed it preliminarily here: http://saveobu.blogspot.com/2012/02/student-saturday-journalism-at-obu.html<br /><br />I would caution people not to be too hard on these student journalists. A lot of it is out of their control. It's just not clear whether we're seeing actual top-down censorship, or the kind of self-censorship that often creeps in when you have an ethos of conformity and authoritarianism.<br /><br />The problem is not the quality of the students or of their effort. The problem is one of institutional design, authority, and the apparent lack of editorial freedom. Now, the student editors will tell you (as they have told others) that they have complete and total editorial freedom. But I think there have been enough questionable changes and omissions that a reasonable person could easily conclude there is censorship.<br /><br />Again, more on that later.

I attended a chapel last month while on campus and as soon as the students sat down they pulled out their phones and checked out. Seemed like they were conditioned not to listen. Wonder why?Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524895972705575613.post-31423359459853869942013-04-23T16:39:53.967-05:002013-04-23T16:39:53.967-05:00Oh wow, you weren't kidding about the Bison.

I guess instead of having the old spectrum of conservative, moderate, and occasionally liberal views, they chose to have none at all. Better not risk even one non-conservative view creeping in.
