I actually listened to a debate a while back between Dr. Mouw and Rev. David Engelsma on Common Grace. Didn't Mouw recently say that Mormons were only heterodox on a few things?

What is this?he represents the "common grace" side of Kuyper, which downgrade you can see at Calvin College
Common Grace is sometimes appealed to, especially at Calvin College, as a cover for worldliness, liberalism, and departure from reformed orthodoxy.What is this?
That is a bummer. I fully believe you, but do you have any examples so I can kind of see how this is playing out?Common Grace is sometimes appealed to, especially at Calvin College, as a cover for worldliness, liberalism, and departure from reformed orthodoxy.
Sorry, you are very plugged in and I pretty much never understand your references so thanks for your patience:I meant there is a STRONG liberalizing streak at Calvin College. James KA Smith, while a scholar of some repute, is the poster boy for NPR's apologetics program (sort of). During last year's fiasco when Richard Swinburne upheld biblical morality, several Calvin College profs made vile (think p0rnographic) remarks denigrating him.

From what I have read James AK Smith shares some brilliant insight and commends die to self. Are you saying that he is fast and loose with a pious life?
And what do you mean "NPRs apologetics program" and what is the connection with Smith?
Lastly, when you Richard Swinburne was upholding biblical morality and several Calvin profs were hating on Him, what was he saying specifically that caused the rage? Also, did not Smith defend him?
Edward Feser is a solid old guard Roman Catholic philosopher who sometimes strongly disagrees with Professor Swinburne. I have always found Feser to be fair and forthright.At a Christian philosophers conference, Swinburne, in a very passive and British manner, suggested homosexuality was wrong. Did Smith defend him? I doubt it, but I don't know for sure. You can read about it here.

This is a really good point.As far as I know, he did nothing to change that
This is a really good point.
What are your other thoughts on Fuller?
I believe that Fuller was the topic of the Battle for the Bible by Dr Lindsell from 1970's, where he knocked them big time for caving into the pressure of now viewing the scriptures as having only limited inerrancy.Getting back to the OP, one must keep in mind that Mouw (rhymes with "cow," by the way) was president of Fuller Seminary for many years, a school which threw over the inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture 40 years ago. As far as I know, he did nothing to change that. Caveat emptor.
