[Vision2020] A Religious Empire

[Joe Campbell]

Donovan,

I don't think it is OK for anyone to be a Nazi of any kind, just to set the record straight! And I think that someone who classifies himself as a kind of "Confederate" is either a racist or trying to create controversy.

  Boy, Nick would almost have a point if paleo and neo meant the same  thing. To bad they don't. And it would be a better point too if Doug  Wilson ran New St. Andrews. 
  
 I got an idea of how to boost  UI enrollment and private business investment downtown. Let's tell the  whole world that a Neo Nazi Confederate religious cult that is trying  to kill homosexuals and enslave Black people are controlling our city.  That ought to bring in the tourists and students. 
  
  Mr. Gier, please stop giving Moscow a bad reputation.

A religious empire

I want to thank Shawn Vestal for his excellent article ("Old-school," Oct.
22) on Moscow's New St. Andrews College (NSA).

Doug Wilson, pastor of Moscow's Christ Church and founder of both NSA and
K-12 Logos School, confessed that he was a "paleo-confederate," just after
NSA President Roy Atwood said that any connection between his college and
the neo-confederates was "laughably stupid."

The distinction Wilson tries to draw between neo- and paleo-confederate is
one without a difference. Steve Wilkins, founding director of the
neo-confederate League of the South, has been keynote speaker at Wilson's
Moscow conferences for 12 years in a row.

I also appreciated Wilson's confession that Robert E. Lee's portrait and the
Confederate flag have been displayed in church and school functions, in
spite of Logos principal Tom Garfield's claims to the contrary.

Most of my information about NSA and Christ Church comes from their own
publications and former church members, who have not become leftists but
remain conservative Christians very worried about how pastors such as Wilson
are making the religious right look worse than it really is.
