[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the schools you mentioned are Christian. Does your kid have a particular desire to attend a Christian SLAC? Not criticizing that choice, but it’s just a possible explanation.[/quote]
Northland and Green Mounrain aren’t. These are hardcore liberal environmentalist schools.[/quote]

One is Unitarian and the other is Methodist. They’re on the liberal side of Christianity, but they’re still Christian.[/quote]

United Church of Christ, not Unitarian. I'll just out myself as a Northland grad and say you obviously have zero idea what you're talking about when it comes to this college. The out in the open spiritual life there is pretty much non existent. The few school-sanctioned religious displays featured practices of Ojibwe Native Americans. We certainly never had a public Christian prayer. I met faaaaaaar more atheists at Northland than I did practicing Christians. There were a handful of hardcore evangelicals who thought it their mission to save us tree-worshipping heathens, but they were greatly disliked. Anyone who has actually spent 5 minutes at Northland would know that calling it a "Christian SLAC " is laughable.[/quote]
