My front row seat to the collapse of the liberal church in America
Adam Enters Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan 1958 - Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com: "Union Theological Seminary. Founded during the liberal heyday of the 19th Century when there was money for Christianity that sat light to heavy creeds and orthodox conservatism." Yep. a front row seat. It hurt even in back then when we looked down on the fundies and figured the world belonged to Ike and us white Protestants with denominational ties. It belonged to neither. WASP culture was in the emergency ward and was wheeled out during the subsequent decades. We were right about a lot of things and what we have now is no great shakes. But everything is progress if we see it as such. And work for values that transcend every category we have.
