  • Duke University and the Methodist Tradition1
    ,... ____________________________mm ___ _,, ____ _ ' ' Methodist History, 42:3 (April 2004) I' '· DUKE UNIVERSITY AND THE METHODIST TRADITION1 WILLIAM E. PIKE Ever since William F. Buckley, Jr.'s 1951 work, God and Man at Yale, a debate has raged openly in the United States and beyond regarding the "sec­ ularization'' of once-Christian institutions of higher learning. Proponents of universities free of church ties have argued that religion hinders the free' exchange of ideas, the growth of scientific research, and the open expression of differing student personalities. Critics of secularization feel thatby shed­ ding years of Christian tradition, universities go adrift without a moral com­ pass or a true appreciation for the historical pillars upon which they were founded . ., As with so many of its counterparts, Duke University faces these ques- tions. Undoubtedly once a solidly Christian school .:... and in particular a Methodist school - it now exhibits the characteristics of a modem, secular university. Its solid ties to the church amount to an overtly Christian divini ... ty school, with a decisive United Methodist bent, and a traditional, informal , · tie between the university Board of Trustees and the North Carolina Annual Conferences of United Methodism. This paper explores to some degree the journey the school has taken to this point, and also asks the important ques­ tion, Is Duke still a United Methodist university? I In its earliest days the institution which would someday become known as Duke was operated mainly by Christians, and more specifically, by Methodists. However, that does not mean it was automatically a Methodist institution. Indeed, for some years during its early history it was not offi..

    The Adhan Controversy in Historical Perspective Interpenetrating Protestant, Secular, and Pluralist Paradigms at Duke University, 1839-2016 Scott Muir, Duke University Abstract This article illustrates how the 2015 adhan controversy exposed tensions between Protestant, pluralist, and secular paradigms at Duke University. It challenges both historical and contemporary models of the relationship between religion and higher education that assert the predominance of a single paradigm by illustrating how all three have been present throughout Duke’s history, evolving and interacting through complex and contingent ebbs and flows. An interactive model is proposed for comparing how particular institutions at times have balanced (a) honoring a majority religious heritage, (b) fostering a religiously inclusive environment, and (c) creating power structures fair to all. Keywords: pluralism, secularism, Protestant establishment, American religion, higher education Introduction: The Adhan Controversy as Clash Between Protestant, Pluralist, and Secular Paradigms In January of 2015, a campus controversy surrounding the broadcasting of a Muslim call (adhan) to Friday jum’ah prayers from the tower of Duke University Chapel exploded into an international media frenzy, revealing palpable tensions between Protestant, pluralist, and secular paradigms within the university and beyond. The intention to broadcast the adhan was announced as the latest expansion of pluralism at Duke, a historically Methodist, research- driven institution. As Associate Dean of Religious Life Christy Lohr Sapp wrote in an op-ed 1 The Adhan Controversy in Historical Perspective in the local paper, “This opportunity represents a larger commitment to religious pluralism that is at the heart of Duke’s mission and connects the university to national trends in religious accommodation.” Conservative Protestants inside and outside the community rallied to defend exclusive Christian ownership of one of the most powerful symbols on campus.

  • The Decline and Revival of Liberal Learning at Duke: the Focus and Gerst Programs
    Acad. Quest. (2007) 20:177–210 DOI 10.1007/s12129-007-9020-z The Decline and Revival of Liberal Learning at Duke: The Focus and Gerst Programs Russell Nieli Published online: 17 November 2007 # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract Small programs can make a big difference on college campuses. At Duke University, a few dedicated people, with the support of college administrators, exploited the all-too-evident liabilities of curriculum fragmentation, political correctness, and the lack of direction felt by undergraduate students to create intellectually valuable and stimulating new offerings. Russell Nieli tells how the Gerst and Focus programs have influenced that university and others across America. Keywords Liberal arts education . Duke University . Focus . Gerst . Cohesive curriculum . First-year programs When a student arrives at the university, he finds a bewildering variety of departments and a bewildering variety of courses. And there is no official guidance, no university-wide agreement, about what he should study.... The net effect of the student’s encounter with the college catalogue is bewilderment and very often demoralization. It is just a matter of chance whether he finds one or two professors who can give him an insight into one of the great visions of education that have been the distinguishing part of every civilized nation.... The teacher, particularly the teacher dedicated to liberal education, must constantly try to look toward the goal of human completeness and back at the natures of his students here and now. Attention to the young, knowing what their hungers are and what they can digest, is the essence of the craft.

  • Outrageous Humility “This Is an Outrage.” “You're Outrageous.” to Say, “This Is an Outrage,” Is to Tell Someone T
    Outrageous Humility Philippians 2.1-13 A Sermon preached in Duke University Chapel on September 25, 2011, by the Revd Dr Sam Wells “This is an outrage.” “You’re outrageous.” To say, “This is an outrage,” is to tell someone that their brazen manners, or their unfashionable opinions, lie beyond our accepted social norms and evoke righteous anger. To say, “You’re outrageous” (in such a way that it rhymes with “gorgeous”), is to affirm that a person’s unambiguous language or provocative clothing is not unwelcome to you – even though it constitutes shameless flirtation. I want to look with you at two kinds of outrage this morning, both of which dally on this same boundary between the unacceptable and the intriguing. The first is a familiar question. What made John Franklin Crowell think that lowly Trinity College in Randolph County, North Carolina had a big future and needed to be uprooted forthwith and transplanted to Durham? What made William Preston Few and James B. Duke think they could just build a medieval-looking campus with a host of research schools and turn Trinity College into a major university overnight? What in 1984 made Terry Sanford speak of Duke’s “outrageous ambition” to build the best faculty in the world within two decades? Who did these people think they were? We all know that Harvard, Yale, Princeton and the rest had long ago booked their seats at the heavenly banquet of American higher education – and it’s been a good long time since anyone was issuing invitations to join them for dinner.
