Hi Chuck,
Not true. In the four religious institutions (Canadian Theological
College, Prairie Bible College, Regent College, Wycliffe College) I have
studied in there was this attitude mocking the "objective/neutral"
attitude of the secular institutions, and that it was they the religious
institution that was one step (if not many steps) more objective . . .
after all it was they who had the "keys" to all things that were true.

Your Biff Wham Chomp Crunch friend,
