Isn't Pepperdine a Nazarene school?

It was founded with $$$ from Pepperdine, the guy who founded
the Western Auto chain.

It is comes in for plenty of criticism for being too liberal
by the flyover-country Church of Christ members...but when I worked
a while in LA, everyone I met thought of it as a hotbed of
right-wing Christian fundamentalist militia members!
(I suspect a lot of that is jealous UCLA folks that look at
that Malibu campus whenever they drive up the Pacific Coast Highway...
and realize UCLA turned down a proposal to move UCLA to Malibu in
the post WWII era.)

I have a cousin that graduated from Pepperdine maybe 10 years ago;
she has assured me that Pepperdine U. is not an armed camp!
She said that one of her best courses there was taught by Ben Stein.

As for a Nazarene school...you might have been thinking of Point Loma
Nazarene. I think Dr. James Dobson (Focus On The Family) was
an undergrad there.
