[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Learn more about the college ~ Calvin College
I bet Op isn't educated enough to understand it's origin[/quote]

Calvin as in Calvinists, as in literally worship money and believe those who have the most money are closer to and/or chosen by God? And those that don't deserve their lot in life, as God intended?[/quote]

[b]That is a bizarre theological interpretation. Calvinist as is ministering to those who need it. Who says they put prisoners before the poor. the Bible identifies many who need help. Calvin is following Biblical principles here, [/b]and I am sure they are helping the poor, orphans/widows, etc.

I know lots of wonderful Calvin grads. They are not like Betsy DeVos (though there are some of those too).[/quote]

This thread is wild. Only on DCUM do we get a pack of angry posters coming back over and over again to yell about 20 students a year, across the entire state, getting the chance to earn a free degree from a private Christian school that's carrying out it's own mission.  :lol:

[quote]We believe God is redeeming even the darkest places of society. There is no corner of creation that cannot be touched by the power of the gospel. By attempting to transform prison culture, we hope to not only restore peace and shalom within prisons, but also within our local neighborhoods and communities.[/quote][/quote]

What does the Bible say of usury and interest? Yet this "Christian school" lets their poor and middle class students leave campus and begin adulthood $23,000 in the hole plus vigorish. But it's okay, they gave a few free degrees to local felons.[/quote]

They got grants for that.[/quote]
