Prior to the post by the distinguished list custodian, I had noted yesterday that since the discussion was drifting off topic, it was probably time to move from Biblical interpretation back to law. However, based upon the tone of Professor Finklemans post, I feel compelled to respond. I do know
Basically a lurker on this list, wisdom would no doubt be for me to remain silent. Yet, "fools rush in where angels fail to trod." I have no idea who Mr. Lofton is or the nature of the group with which he is associated. However, acknowledging the stellar credentials of his critics, its seems to
A valid point, the Bible does condemn certain items, so we do not have to infer the Biblical view from circumstanial evidence. However, that cuts both ways. The Bible condemns drunkness. Yet, Noah is in no way criticized in the Biblical text for his intoxication. Rather, a son Ham is condemned

As Kermit's student at the University of Florida, I add my sadness at learning of Dr. Hall's untimely death. Although I have not seen him much since he supervised my M.A. thesis in my J.D./M.A. program, I was greatly enriched both intellectually and personally by him. One example of his
I would like to inject my situation in North Carolina into the picture. The North Carolina statute looks at the institution, not what the student is studying. Originally, "pervasively sectarian" institutions were prohibited from participating by court decree. Accounting majors at sectarian
I think Steve Sanders for his post. I agree that the fact that the RA is an employee complicates this situation a little. However, it seems to me that this is just the type of discrimination that the Free Exercise Clause is designed to prevent. It is, of course, true that no one is required to
I composed my response before the question of the extent and exact nature of the UW policy had been raised based on my (perhaps mistaken) reading of a news report. I accept Steve Sanders point that I need to know the specifics of the policy prior to declaring it to be religious discrimination. If
It seems to me that the suit seeks far more than a ban on "involuntary" conversion. It seeks to ban attempts to convert or prostylize OR attempting "to involuntarily convert . . ." It looks like the plaintiffcontents that any attempt to convert or prostylize (I think that is what chaplains do) is
My understanding of Nally is the same as that of Professor Laycock. That is certainly what I teach the M.Div. students when I teach my course on Legal Issues for the Minister once a year. At one time our degree was in counseling, the nomenclature was changed to Biblical counseling to make clear
