Excerpt:What started it all was a group of students who called themselves "the collective of BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, and People of Color] students and alumni of Wheaton College" demanding the "immediate removal of President James Oliver Buswell’s name from the college’s library." As it turned out, full submission to their demand of "immediate removal" took Wheaton's trustees and administration two years and eleven months.* * *Support Warhorn here.Music is Rise Up, O Lord, a recording of

Excerpt:GRACE is a crisis management company frequently hired by Christian churches who have attained public notoriety for various forms of abuse of women and men, girls and boys. GRACE is brought in to manage the crisis by investigating the bad actors, then make recommendations for cleaning up the church's public image.GRACE sells itself as an impartial business that can be trusted to root out abusers of authority.

Excerpt:Seventeen years before President Buswell was hired, Wheaton College had suffered a scandal that reached national proportions. This scandal started with President Charles Blanchard accepting a Black female applicant for mid-year matriculation, Winter/Spring Semester of 1909.This young woman's name was Nellie Bryant, and her application to Wheaton was the result of her being expelled from Berea College in southeast Kentucky.Berea College had expelled Bryant because she was Black...* *

Excerpt:Kevin DeYoung recently wrote a piece critical of Doug Wilson and the “mood” in Moscow, Idaho, center of Doug’s burgeoning movement. Kevin’s piece has fallen flat, leading (if Twitter responses constitute a representative sample) to more criticism of Kevin than Doug.I suspect Kevin, essentially an irenicist and a generally reasonable guy, can’t comprehend why his criticisms of Doug and the Moscow movement have been so poorly received.* * *Support Warhorn here.Music is Rise Up, O

Excerpt:Irony is mentioned here in connection with the explosion of our usage of "authentic" because an ironic age is an age lacking in directness, truthfulness, and courage. It winks rather than smiling. It crosses its fingers behind its back. If you catch a man lying and point it out, he responds that he was being ironic.The ironic man extends by just a few seconds the moment when he has to commit himself.* * *Support Warhorn here.Music is Rise Up, O Lord, a recording of Psalm 10 by My

Excerpt:The Task Force did not review any Wheaton-related activity after the year 2,000. President Ryken and the Board directed the Task Force to review the years 1860 through 2000, but I consider the year 2000 an arbitrary cutoff date. There is no legitimate reason to exempt President Ryken or the Trustees from examination and criticism.President Ryken's actions in 2015-2016 in the Dr. Hawkins matter provide an interesting contrast to Wheaton's 2023 decision to denounce President Buswell.*

Excerpt:The good scholar anticipates lines of argument contrary to his thesis, raising them himself, then responding to them in a way that defends his own conclusions. The good scholar improves his opponent’s arguments for him, demonstrating his commitment to the pursuit of truth. This is “steel-manning,” the opposite of “straw-manning.”No one familiar with the Report is surprised that the anti-segregation and anti-racism convictions and publications of Buswell the Son aren’t mentioned by

Excerpt:It’s good never to respond to criticism by email or letter if you can do so in person (or, if they live at a distance from you, by a phone call). It’s also important never to respond without waiting at least a couple days to cool off and get your wife or your trusted elder’s advice. Let me reiterate this: never but never send a text, email, or letter responding to criticism or dealing with conflict without waiting at least two days, during which you run by your wife or trusted elder

Excerpt:Five centuries ago, the Protestant reformers surveyed what we today call "Christendom," and they mourned over the harassed and helpless sheep being milked by the Pope and his minions. Rome sold her spiritual wares so the Pope would have the money to continue paying those constructing St. Peter's Basilica (as well as Michelangelo painting the Pope's Sistine Chapel).Surveying this idolatry, the Reformers loved God and grieved that the sheep their Lord had purchased with His Own

Excerpt:Soon after their move, believing in Christian education, Dad and Mother joined a few couples to start Delaware County Christian School in 1949. Writing the founding documents, Dad pushed through the adoption of a policy that Blacks would be free to enroll their children. Note this was back in 1949, a mere nine years after President Buswell was fired by Wheaton's trustees on January 20, 1940.For myself, I have no doubts Dr. Buswell's own commitments and teaching against segregation

Excerpt:For the testimony of J.

Excerpt:This Report has no credibility and should have been repudiated by the Trustees. The fact that it was embraced and spread far and wide reflects very poorly on these women and men.As the Task Force admits in their Report, the evidence they have based their denunciation on is scarce and their generalizations and conclusions unsupported. They had a fourteen-year span of time to base their research on, but the Task Force produced suggestions, innuendo, and scraps of dialog reported
