I hate to interrupt Greg’s outstanding contributions to “Friday is for Poetry” but this article in the New York Times is worth taking a look at.  It is old news really: Georgetown College’s move to sever it’s ties from the Baptist convention in the name of academic integrity.  The trustees were convinced that academic integrity and Christianity and mutually exclusive.  Interesting that the NYT would pick up on this.  Those interested in pursuing this further may want to look at George Marsden’s The Outrageous Idea of Christian Scholarship.  He makes the case for secular institutions welcoming Christian thinkers, not casting them out.
