Bush can come, but I'm sure even President Byker would admit that Bush
does not represent the Christian Reformed Church in his policies and
practices.
There is no reason to attack the president of your college. He is
charged with protecting the rights of all involved--those who disagree,
and those who agree with Bush's visit.
Pray for him to have strength to make good decisions with minimal
impact on the importance of this graduation event for 900 students of
Calvin College.
God Bless
He's appropriately under a microscope. And only the most committed
relativist could analyze without finding fault.
The point of the protests is not to bash Bush, conservatives, liberals
or anyone. It is simply to point out that Bush is using his
commencement visit as political leverage, and many Christians have a
real problem with our school being manipulated for his gain.
