Michael, I know that there are some Christian colleges that expect every faculty member to accept basic precepts of their faith, but that is not universal. I work at a Catholic college, but we have many faculty who are not Catholic, not Christian, and in some cases not religious at all. There is nothing unethical about them. The question we address is simply, can you support the mission of the college? From our perspective, one does not need to be Christian in order to do so (otherwise, they would have found a way to get rid of me years ago).

Subject: Re: [tips] How Do You Explain A 4.4 Million Skeleton in a 6,000 Year Old Universe? I think if a person works in a Christian college then the person has to agree with the faith precepts of the institution. So I doubt there would be any "secular" faculty at such institutions, and if there are, they are clearly being unethical under such circumstances. --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly (bsouthe...@frostburg.edu)
