A very interesting article , entitled "Secularism with its gloves off: Vanderbilt University's assault on religious organizations," by Dr. Mohler about the school's intolerant "tolerance" being forced on campus ministries. The university has put policy into place that forces every student organization to accept any student as a member and allow any student to run for its offices.
"Tolerance" as defined in our modern culture has some very strange logic to it. The very things that make an organization Christian are now no longer allowed to characterize its membership or leadership. Read the article to find out the twists and turns of the story.
A blog designed to encourage Grace Church of Tallahassee College/Career members to think biblically in all areas of life and to grow in the knowledge of the truth which accords with godliness (Titus 1:1). The title is based on Titus 2:12 where Paul says that the grace of God saves us and trains us to live godly lives in the present age.
No atheist is going to legitimately try (let alone succeed) at becoming elected an officer in the Christian club. But if the university really does desire to force nondiscrimination, then the frat houses should be held accountable, too. It sounds like the university is clumsily asking for a lawsuit and one Christian organization has decided to stay out of the mess entirely.
