What on earth happened to Calvin College?

[Anglicanorthodoxy]

From what I understand, Calvin used to be a fairly well respected orthodox Reformed college. It seems like it's getting more liberal every day. There are now articles in their student newspaper endorsing homosexuality. What on earth happened to the school?

Simple: It went liberal.

It is affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church (CRC).

I have written extensively on the slide of the CRC (and Calvin College). For example, see here for part 1 of my series on the loss of biblical inerrancy in the CRC.

Whenever any seminary/college diverted form holding to the truth of the scriptures, it seems that all types of false teachings come flooding into it...
As shown by that work called the battle for the Bible, that described the falling of Fuller seminary...

While I was attending PRTS I worked the night shift as a janitor at Calvin. Often I had to clean up after the homosexual student activities... I was uncomfortable. The administration only tried to stop these activities on alumni weekends.

Covenant College/James K. A. Smith is what NPR would look like if it had an apologetics program.

NPR is hip and edgy and fairly competent--but completely liberal in cultural applications.

Covenant College (Lookout Mountain, GA) is the PCA's college and is not to be confused with Calvin College of Grand Rapids, MI.

Oops. I got them confused.

I thought I understood your point until I got to this. Then I realized I would need to quote the warden in Cool Hand Luke.
