Underwood was brought in to dismantle President Sloane's vision to make Baylor the foremost evangelical university in America. Sloane was gathering academics committed to that vision and it upset the liberals on the Board of Trustees. Underwood has found like minded people in Clinton/Carter.
There is another like-minded movement (snake with a similar goal and Purpose) afoot in the church and its leader, at a Pew Forum on mega-churches, has also stated that "fundamentalism", including Christian fundamentalism, is the enemy of the 21st century. This leader is also concentrating on the social gospel...
...that leader's name is Rick Warren.
