Ep. 101 The Downfall of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
07/13/22 • 44 min
There is a dangerous trend across American evangelical universities and seminaries. Christian schools do not know how to treat faculty with dignity or respect. They also don't seem to know how to hire Christlike presidents to run their schools. In this episode, I expose mismanagement of funds, bullying, sex scandals, and the poor treatment of theology and philosophy professors. This episode is in three acts. Act 1: The Dangerous Trend, quickly covers a number of scandals across multiple Christian schools in the US. Act 2: Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, discusses some of the recent scandals at Trinity, including president Nicholas Perrin comparing professors to Judas before making cuts to staff and faculty. Act 3: Business or Christian Education? examines Trinity's current marketing and promotional strategies, the way that they treat former professors, and how Trinity hired two new Vice Presidents after letting go of multiple professors for financial reasons.
