Viva La Revolution!

Vandermeer… I Am A Fan… Most Of The Time…

His Talk Today… What The Junk?

I Got Excited When He Brought Up The Fact That There May Be Students That Might Not Be Christians…

The Extent Of His Advice Was This:

“Love God… I Tell You This, So That If You Get Hit By A Truck Today [Implyed: And Are Damned To Hell Because You Had Questions About Faith] , You Can’t Say I Didn’t Warn You.”

Seriously… Was This A Joke?

It Was So Innapropriate,

Bar-None, It Ruined My Day, And Upheld The Precident That CLRW Has Created Of Further Dividing The Already Separated Factions At Christian High.

Talk About Serendipitous Events Though…

Jon E-Mailed Me About This, And I Replyed:

Jon… I Am Already Working On Kuips…

I’ve Got A Video That I Made This Summer That I Think You Should See… I Think That You’d Like It Alot. I May Bring It Tomorrow, So You Could Take A Peek At It On The Bus.

It Is Basically A Ten-Minute Film That Addresses The Reality Of A Spiritual Life, It’s Seemingly Elusive Nature, And Why It Does Elude So Many People Our Age.

I Showed It To Kuips – He Got Really Excited For A Few Hours, And Was Going Crazy About How We Had To Have A Chapel About It…

He Hasn’t Said A Word About The Film Since That Day, And Has Been Trying To Dodge The Issue. I’ve Got My Suspicions As To Why This May Be…

It Raises A Lot Of Issues That Are So Relevant, And So Real; The Problem Is That They Are Edgy Issues, And Ones That The Administration May Wish To Have Silenced. The Conflict Is That It Would Look Really Bad If A Christian School Were To Admit That, By My Guess, More Than Half – If Not Three Fourths – Of Their Students Weren’t Christian.

I Hadn’t Originally Thought About This; As I Discussed Further With Bethany, And Countless Others, It Became Apparent That This May Be The Case.

This Is – In My Opinion – So So So So So Irresponsible. To Deny That This Is Even An Issue Is Absolutely Unthinkable.

The Schools Mission Statement Reads As Follows:

“Preparing students to be effective servants of Christ in contemporary society.”

If They Won’t Allow This Issue To Be Addressed, Then It Will Be Confirmed That The Hypocrisy Begins At The Top.

Maybe This Is Far More Of A Response Than You Were Looking For – I’m Not Sure. At Any Rate, I Guess That I’d Rather Not Have You Give That To Kuips, But Rather Come To A Meeting With Kuips, Bethany, And Myself; And Help Share Your Views In A Formal, And Deliberate Meeting.

Thanks For Your Support, And Interest. I Am Totally With You – This Is An Issue Of Such Pertinence, And Such Relevance, That Something Must Be Done.

Thanks!

There Isn’t Alot Of Time… The Changes Must Begin,

I Sincerely Hope That The Pertinence Of This Issue Is Apparent.
