DUKE CHAPEL
As many of you may be aware, earlier last week Duke
University granted the Muslim student community (fewer than 800 in a total
student population over 14,850) permission to have the Muslim call to prayer
broadcast from Duke University Chapel. ‘Broadcast’
as in – it could be heard from the Chapel tower campus-wide. My
immediate reaction to this news was: WTF
ARE THEY THINKING‼‼
The decision was changed after the excrement hit the oscillating
device on a national scale.
Our pastor addressed this in his sermon today, stating that a
letter was fired out from the Duke Divinity School via email to Methodist
ministers nationwide that THE DIVINITY SCHOOL WAS NOT CONSULTED ON THIS.
Apparently nor was the Director of Student Ministry (A Duke CHAPEL department
head) consulted.
This made me feel MUCH better about my school until we get to
the fine print……
Below is a pull quote from jihadwatch.org, regarding the
young woman (The ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR RELIGIOUS LIFE FOR THE CHAPE), who
apparently made the UNILATERAL decision.
Christy Lohr Sapp
The Chapel’s associate dean for
religious life, Christy Lohr Sapp said before the plans were canceled that the
move showed the school’s commitment to religious pluralism. .....
In a release Thursday, the university
said Muslims will instead gather on the quadrangle before
heading into a room in the Chapel for their weekly prayer service.
OK…. As a friend of mine tells me…. visualize a calm, blue
ocean.
Did. Didn’t
work. My solution to this would be …. If the Muslim students get to use A ROOM
in the Chapel for their weekly prayer service….. then any Christian fellowship
organization at the university gets go to the nearest mosque and use a room to take
Holy Communion! See how THAT floats!
The Moose Slimes would riot
