Feb 2017 - The Board of Trustees of Bayan Claremont Islamic Graduate School – a division of Claremont School of Theology – tonight resolved to decline an $800,000 grant from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Community Partnerships, awarded last month. Claremont School of Theology stands with the Bayan Board decision to decline this grant.

“We have and will continue to work with our government where there is no conflict of interest, but given the anti-Muslim actions of the current executive branch, we cannot in good conscience accept this grant,” said President Jihad Turk, Bayan Claremont.

April 2017 - Claremont School of Theology’s President Stands, Again, for LGBTQIA Rights and Equality in The Church and Around the World

This is such a divisive issue and, as an ordained elder in the Church and the president of one of only 13 Methodist seminaries, I must support our denomination and its people,” said Kuan. “Personally, as I have stated many times, I am deeply pained that we United Methodists have continued to send the message that our LGBTQI sisters and brothers are less equal and less deserving than to be fully included in the life of the church.”

June 2017 - At a time when Claremont School of Theology is experiencing its greatest success, we are facing our greatest challenge. . . . . Even while educating more leaders than ever in our 60-year history, because of our financial challenges, our leadership and Board of Trustees have concluded that CST cannot sustain its mission in its current form. We have been diligently exploring many options toward financial stability and a thriving mission and have come to the conclusion that CST’s best path forward may include relocation.

And they didn't see that coming!!!

Liberalism--social, political and theological--at its best!

I am easily confused. Why would Home Land Security offer a GRANT to ANY college university?

Does Lee University get funds from Home Land Security???

From their website:

Claremont School of Theology is fully recognized and approved as one of thirteen official theological schools of The United Methodist Church , with close relationships with other Protestant denominations, especially the Disciples of Christ and United Church of Christ, the Episcopal Church, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Claremont sure does like those apostate denominations. I guess their "kindred" spirits, or some kind of spirit.

United Methodist
Disciples of Christ
United Church of Christ
Episcopal Church
Evangelical Lutheran Church

Mat

but given the anti-Muslim actions of the current executive branch
