<p>So I feel we should start a list of Christian colleges. Just do it by adding one to the list when you post. </p>
<p>ex. Before me list is zero, after me it is:</p>
<li><p>Baylor University
then the next person adds:</p></li>
<li><p>Baylor</p></li>
<li><p>Blah blah</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Eventually there should be a pretty good compostite that anyone can refer to for a handy list.</p>
<p>Might I suggest also including the affiliation of the college?</p>
<p>Wouldn't they all be Christian: Protestant, Mormon, Evangelical, Catholic.
I personally considered any religion that believes CHRIST to be the representation of GOD to be Christian.</p>
<p>Obviously. But are they Lutheran? Anglican? Calvinist? Orthodox? Roman Catholic? Mormon? Fundamentalist? Baptist? Methodist? Episcopalian?</p>
<p>Add Messiah to the list. It's in PA.</p>
<p>Puh-leez don't start a list that includes things like "Duke (Methodist)"</p>
<p>I would strongly suggest that any list should be prefaced by a definition of what is generally meant by "Christian College," which, in my experience, is:</p>
<p>"A college that espouses explicitly evangelical Protestant Christian beliefs, and where those beliefs are embodied in the school's curriculum, rules, and student life."</p>
<p>Protestant AND Catholic, and arguably Mormon. Common usage may suggest that "Christian" refers to Protestants, but Catholics are definitely Christians. Schools that espouse RC or Eastern Rite Catholic values should be included.</p>
<p>No, Baelor, in all respect, no. That's really not what this subforum is about. YES, Catholics are Christians, but when people on CC are asking about "Christian Colleges," they do not mean Catholic Colleges. That is not a slam on Catholics, it is just the general, everyday meaning of "Christian College."</p>
<p>I know what the everyday meaning of "Christian College" is. In fact, I wrote it in my last post. I understand that it's not a slam on anyone, just like this forum is not a slam on other religions.</p>
<p>However, Catholics ARE Christians by definition. I haven't seen anything in the subforum to suggest that the mods created it with the sole intention of discussing colleges that are affiliated with Protestant denominations. Additionally, I've seen enough threads about RC Colleges to justify including them in the subforum. If they crept up once a month, I would agree with you. But given that Catholics are Christians, and the threads come up about as frequently as ones about colleges of different Christian sects, I don't see why you would prohibit threads about Catholic colleges.</p>
<p>Hunt, what IS this subforum about? Have the moderators posted its purpose explicitly somewhere? Does it state that Catholic colleges are not to be discussed here? I don't see that anywhere. </p>
<p>Catholics are Christians. Catholic colleges are Christian colleges. Even if the common usage leads one to believe otherwise, posting a thread about Catholic colleges in no way is contradictory to the title of the forum, "Christian Colleges."</p>
<br>
<blockquote> <p>YES, Catholics are Christians, but when people on CC are asking about "Christian Colleges," they do not mean Catholic Colleges<<</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>How do you get to speak for "people on CC" and what this subforum is about? They may or may not be looking for colleges that fit only a very narrow defintion of "Christian."</p>
<p>That's the problem with trying to compile a list of Christian colleges. It quickly generates into a battle over who is and isn't Christian. Instead of a useful college discussion, we end up with a heated theological debate that solves nothing.</p>
<p>Since no one is actually doing this... <em>rolls up sleeves</em></p>

<li>Georgetown College (no, not university, college)</li>
<li>Gordon College</li>
<li>Grove City College</li>
</ol>
<p>It may be useful to cite the location of some of these, since many have names that are similar or identical to other schools.</p>
<p>You may also want to put the denomination that sponsors the school (ie Church of Christ, Presbyterian).</p>
<p>Perhaps the overall forum should be called Protestant Colleges instead of Christian Colleges since it is not for Catholics.</p>
<p>Also, instead of posting a bunch of them. Only add one to the list with your post and info about that specific college. Therefore the ppl who later read the post will be able to see about the college as well as a list of other universities.</p>

<p>Just popping by to say it's not a protestant thread, either. I can't imagine you plan to add most Methodist schools to the list.</p>
<p>I do understand the kind of school you are going for. You can add Spring Arbor (MI).</p>
<p>Council</a> for Christian Colleges & Universities - Home</p>
<p>Here's the website of what most in higher education would say is the best list of seriously Chrisitan colleges. It includes the 180 schools with membership and affiliation in the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities and Affiliates.</p>
<p>btw, Brigham Young and other Mormon institutions are religiously affiliated, but definitely not considered Christian. Christians would define Mormonism as a cult rather than a religion, and that's not meant in a perjurative sense. Simply defined that way. Catholic colleges are not included either when categorically discussing "Christian" colleges. btw, I am suggesting that LSD is not a subset of Christianity, and Catholicism is despite the categorical label. It's more historical in the latter case. Perhaps another way of looking at this coincident with traditional discussions is that Protestant denominational colleges as well as Christian non-denominational schools might be considered "Christian" while Catholic colleges and u's are nearly always listed as "Catholic." Doesn't make a lot of sense always, but that's often been the case.</p>
<p>^ I'm thinking LSD was suppose to mean LDS?</p>
