I haven’t officially announced this yet:
We have a new provost at our University! Merely Reconciler! He has more power than past provosts in that he is over the college, the seminary, and the graduate school!
He was previously a professor at our seminary and he has been a pastor for the past few years.
Here at the college he held a Q&A session. I’ll tell you more about this another time.
Dr. Reconciler has been a pastor for the last few years and it shows. He is a natural preacher! Very inspiring!
He also said that he was very broad in his definition of the word “Christian”. He said that he likes C. S. Lewis’ approach with his “Mere Christianity”. But I take some comfort knowing Merely Reconciler’s track record of relationships with people who don’t agree with him: I’m sure we don’t have to worry about any heterogeneity at our University going forward.
He also talked a lot about his focus on reconciliation. His past experience on the issue proves that he and I mean the same thing by that word. That’s why I’m calling him “Merely Reconciler!”
I really hope Merely Reconciler can have a strong influence on Rudyard and keep our University from heading off the rails. The combined strength of him and Papa Bear should be able to overpower President Rudyard’s attempts to define reconciliation in some way that involves really engaging with outsiders. You can expect lots of stories with happy endings in the coming years. I suggest we start by ending the careers of some of the liberals who are bringing this place down!
In my next few blog posts, I will elaborate on some of these questions and his answers to them.
Hooray!!
