[Vision2020] Logos School

[Douglas]

Dear visionaries,

Afternoon, kids! No need to worry -- I'll keep it brief.

Kudos to Ted for doing a decent job of reading/hearing what we have been 
saying.

Non-kudos to Rosemary for linking me to a web site I had never heard of, 
and for a tightly-reasoned argument that did everything but what it needed 
to do. The point is that Logos does not teach or do what it has been 
falsely accused of teaching or doing. The fact that one of the board 
members there (me) thinks that the South was right on the constitutional 
issues, and (together with the North) wrong on the racial issues, does not 
justify the extent to which the little old ladies (of both sexes) on the 
progressivist side of our little town have gotten their panties in a twist. 
By Rosemary's style of argument, three other local institutions that are 
necessarily neo-Confederate are the Moscow Chamber of Commerce, the 
University of Idaho, and Vision 20/20.

Kudos to Auntie Establishment for calming everybody down, and alerting them 
to our PR tricks. But getting the progressives worked up into a lather such 
as this is really not all that hard. All one has to do is say something 
sensible, like, "No, Logos School doesn't teach what you insist we do." The 
aftermath of such inflammatory utterances usually includes references to 
fascism, brainwashing, cults, and whatnot. It really is a sight to behold, 
and I am not quite sure how we do it either.

Non-kudos to Rosemary for taking jurisdiction over what constitutes true 
Presbyterianism. I said Christ Church was presbyterian because that is the 
form of church government we have, and our doctrinal convictions are ably 
summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith, the historic confession 
of presbyterians. The name of our particular presbytery is the 
Confederation of Reformed Evangelicals. Ready, set, google!

And last, let's pretend for a minute. Let's pretend that we really are 
those nasty, cultish, misogynist, neo-Confederates types that some folks 
desperately need to have around. Given relativism, anything wrong with 
that? Didn't think so.

Cordially,


Douglas
