Fellowship with 300 Million Gods - St. Olaf Lutheran College Brags About It!
WorldNetDaily reports that St. Olaf's, a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, has appointed a practicing Hindu, Anantanand Rambachan, to head the Religion Department.
Rambachan says that his appointment:
'is not meant to indicate or signal a new attitude or direction for the college. At the same time, St. Olaf, like many other academic institutions, is growing and changing. … Today, courses on Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism are taught without controversy…," he said. "Institutions should increasingly reflect the diversity of our nation and this, of course, includes religion.'"
Poetic justice has arrived at last. One Hindu god is Kali, bloodthirsty goddess of destruction. The Thugs, who used to strangle their victims and rob them, were devoted to Kali. Thugs would warn travelers about bandits in the area, walk with them to help guard them, and then murder and rob once the travelers began to trust them. In the same way, Lutheran leaders say, "Trust us. We will take care of you on the journey."
Do not be alarmed, WELS, ELS, and Missouri members. When the so-called conservatives have evangelism programs, multi-culutralism, leadership conferences, and religious radio shows with ELCA, it is always "outside the framework of fellowship," to borrow a worn phrase from WELS.
The original St. Olaf was largely responsible for turning Norway into a Christian country. St. Olaf's College is turning its religion department pagan.
I was interviewed for a world religion position at a local community college. I was warned by an insider at the college that no Christian was allowed to teach in the department, even part-time. The religion departments of public and Lutheran colleges are filled with atheists, apostates, pagans, enemies of the Christian faith.
Ironically, I have taught world religion at a for-profit university about 45 times so far and still going strong. I teach soldiers, all nationalities, all faiths, from all over the world, online and in the classroom. My employer, an atheist, has no problem with me expressing conservative Protestant views, including my support of Creation.
