[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD wrote about a trip to an orphanage in Ethiopia and got into an Ivy. She is a non-Christian who traveled with a Christian youth group simply because they were going to the orphanage where the little girl she tutored (after having been adopted) lived. She wrote about being an atheist and how uncomfortable she was with what the youth group leaders would say to people in a third world country, how it affected her to see where her tutoring girl came from and meeting the women who'd taken care of her, etc. [/quote]

So writing about a Christian experience from an anti-Christian POV is to be admired, but writing from a Christian POV is to be avoided and disdained?[/quote]

right. Unless you're applying to Lynchburg College or Brighgam Young or somewhere like that[/quote]

Meh. I think that particular poster is the problem. Plus, that poster is probably a troll (seem to be several trolls on this forum recently).  So I wouldn't take that very seriously.[/quote]
