Carl Ruby, Cedarville's vice president for student life, told CT that although there was "a high degree of receptivity on campus" to the Claiborne lecture, he decided to cancel the lecture to avoid risking conveying the wrong message about Cedarville's doctrinal beliefs.

Good for Cedarville. The kids can look at Shane talking about his Holy Loogies on youtube if they want to be 'challenged.' (funny how they can't put up with the 'challenge' of dealing with responsible adult leadership).

Cedarville had to be pushed and still has trouble brewing.

Bloggers deserve credit. This guy is abominable. Glad the school reconsidered.

"There's too much constructive work to do for the kingdom for us to spend our energies constantly reacting to every destructive voice, especially those who do not honor Jesus' admonition to speak directly to one another in love (Matthew 18)."

I've been accused (with some legitimacy, to my shame) of being more willing to talk than act in these situations, but I am really getting tired of Mt 18 being used as a hammer to squelch discussion by passive-aggressive people who don't think they're wrong anyway.

It's like how people in the Bible School I attended using 1 Cor 8 ("don't cause the weaker brother to stumble") as a club to force others to follow their social/cultural rules, by claiming to be the weaker brother. Ergh.
