A few months ago Eliz\u00ada\u00adbeth Svo\u00adbo\u00adda<\/a> emailed me to ask if she could come to a Chi Alpha func\u00adtion and inter\u00adview a few of our stu\u00addents for an arti\u00adcle she was writ\u00ading about spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty on the col\u00adlege cam\u00adpus. I said sure, she showed up, the par\u00adty end\u00aded, and I did\u00adn\u2019t hear any\u00adthing else. I real\u00adly did\u00adn\u2019t think that much more about it.<\/p>\n

So I was very pleas\u00adant\u00adly sur\u00adprised this morn\u00ading to learn that the arti\u00adcle, School Spir\u00adit<\/a>, has been print\u00aded in Sci\u00adence & Spir\u00adit mag\u00ada\u00adzine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over\u00adall I was quite pleased, although I feel com\u00adpelled to clear one thing up. Eliz\u00ada\u00adbeth accu\u00adrate\u00adly quotes me as say\u00ading<\/p>\n

\nGlen Davis, the leader of Stanford\u2019s Chi Alpha Chris\u00adt\u00adian fel\u00adlow\u00adship, has seen instruc\u00adtors go to extreme lengths to keep dis\u00adcus\u00adsion of reli\u00adgion and morals out of the class\u00adroom. \u201cOne pro\u00adfes\u00adsor taught a class on [Ger\u00adman the\u00adolo\u00adgian, writer, and cen\u00adtral fig\u00adure in the Protes\u00adtant Church\u2019s strug\u00adgle against Nazism] Diet\u00adrich Bon\u00adho\u00adef\u00adfer, and she didn\u2019t men\u00adtion his spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal beliefs at all,\u201d he says.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019d just like to put that par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar state\u00adment into context\u2013I was prais\u00ading the pro\u00adfes\u00adsor in ques\u00adtion for chang\u00ading her approach once she real\u00adized what she was doing. <\/p>\n

At least, that\u2019s what I think I was doing. I did\u00adn\u2019t take notes on my own words (which would be an odd habit to have).<\/p>\n

\nQ: What are you doing?
\nA: Record\u00ading what I say for pos\u00adter\u00adi\u00adty.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any\u00adway, I don\u2019t recall every\u00adthing that I said that night, but I\u2019ve told that par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar sto\u00adry on sev\u00ader\u00adal occas\u00adsions and I typ\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly start with the fact that the pro\u00adfes\u00adsor ini\u00adtial\u00adly skirt\u00aded past Bon\u00adho\u00adef\u00adfer\u00ad\u2019s beliefs and ulti\u00admate\u00adly decid\u00aded that she could\u00adn\u2019t keep doing that.<\/p>\n

I just men\u00adtion it on the .01% chance that pro\u00adfes\u00adsor hap\u00adpens
\na) to read the arti\u00adcle,
\nb) rec\u00adog\u00adnize that she is the anony\u00admous pro\u00adfes\u00adsor in ques\u00adtion,
\nc) and then comes to this web\u00adsite seek\u00ading an expla\u00adna\u00adtion for my appar\u00adent\u00adly dis\u00adparag\u00ading com\u00adment. <\/p>\n

Okay, on the .0001% chance.<\/p>\n

Expla\u00adna\u00adtion: I was giv\u00ading you props\u2013really!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
