Fundy U: BJU edition

[BASSENCO]

I also had a great experience at BJU. It has been heartbreaking to realize that there is "another side" to the school. But even at that, apart from the well known dragons of Guenter Salter and Katherine Stenholm, the faculty at BJU was incredibly, unbelievably dedicated when I was there (and I assume they still are), no matter what the administration was doing or covering up in BJ-stratum churches.

I learned a heck of a lot about the love of God from faculty members, their generosity, their compassion, and their confidence in God. Yes the entire "preacher boy" culture ranges from the comedic to the revolting, and the chapel platform, which was allegedly so hot, was often a stage for buffoons who were given their five minutes of fame to keep them "in the camp". But still, BJU was a place where genuine believers did have fellowship together in Christ, and many who were older and wiser were incredibly gracious to those who were younger and often difficult to love.

When I see the school remaining silent about such devils as Les Heinz and Chuck Phelps, I'm very sad. If those guys suddenly declared they were gay, or if they put a woman in the pulpit, the school would act to give them the boot, but when they lie and cover up for gross sexual sins against teenagers, BJU remains stone silent and pretends it hasn't happened. You have to wonder, apart from the judgment of God, how long the administration thinks they can get away with such nonsense before ordinary, decent people decide it's safer to get away from such a scandal-ridden culture.
