[Peace-discuss] mckinley and the cia

[rohloff at uiuc.edu]

Although I'm not a big fan of 'progressive' groups fighting 
with each other--and at the risk of starting 
another 'theological' discussion--I can't help but remark:

I'm not terribly suprised to see CIA recruiting efforts on 
our campus, and it doesn't bother me so much. However, I am 
very suprised to see such an event hosted at McKinley, which 
has always been very fond of tooting its own horn as the most 
progressive liberal protestant church in town. 

In the past, McKinley has been known to reject on the grounds 
of ideological difference space-use requests from (relatively 
moderate) evangelical campus groups looking for places to 
hold Bible studies. 

Does it than follow that McKinley is more ideologically 
aligned with the CIA than with, say, Intervarsity Christian 
Fellowship? If so, perhaps I should stop calling myself a 
liberal Protestant ;-)
