The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church is working hard to encourage its Erskine College to develop an interest in distinctively Christian scholarship and teaching. Bravo, ARPC!
Our own John Basie has long been involved with both the school and currently serves on its board. He told World Magazine, "Now we have momentum. The problem starts with the board—but I hope the board will see this less as a threat and more as an opportunity. Erskine has the potential to be the premier Christian liberal arts college in the South."
The board has a critically-important role, and it's especially hard for laypersons to exercise their necessary duties, particularly in a denominational context. Generally speaking, greater board involvement would be a huge improvement.
