    Moral Minority: the Evangelical Left in an Age of Conservatism

    MORAL MINORITY POLITICS AND CULTURE IN MODERN AMERICA Series Editors Margot Canaday, Glenda Gilmore, Michael Kazin, and Thomas J. Sugrue Volumes in the series narrate and analyze po liti cal and social change in the broadest dimensions from 1865 to the present, including ideas about the ways people have sought and wielded power in the public sphere and the language and institutions of politics at all levels— local, national, and transnational. The series is motivated by a desire to reverse the fragmentation of modern U.S. history and to encourage synthetic perspectives on social movements and the state, on gender, race, and labor, and on intellectual history and pop u lar culture.

  • Summer 2000 Wheaton

    Summer 2000 Wheaton

    Summer 2000 Wheaton Jump Start for a New Century We asked, and you gave d ear friends— “Already . but not yet.” Thus do theologians often speak of Christ’s kingdom. Our Lord’s rule in the world was inaugurated with His death and resurrection, but His rulership also awaits its eschatological fulfillment at His return. So in one sense we rightfully say that Jesus reigns; but in another, that He does not yet reign fully. His kingdom is both “already ...but not yet.” If this is true of our Lord, we should also expect it to be true of His followers. Whatever we accomplish for Christ’s kingdom will likely bear that same “already . but not yet” quality. Hence our ambivalent response to our successes:While pleased by them, we are also humbled by them, knowing it could have been otherwise; though confident of Christ’s ultimate triumph, we resist a prideful triumphalism since His full victory is yet to be achieved; while we genuinely celebrate, we do so, in a sense, wistfully, always aware of how much there is yet to be done. Our kingdom work too, then, is marked by an “already ...but not yet.” It was with just this sort of theological ambivalence that we announced recently we had reached the $140 million goal of Wheaton’s New Century Challenge. On the one hand this event represents a significant milestone in the history of the College, and we have been celebrating it with great joy. God’s blessing on this effort has been apparent from the beginning, and we want to thank—how inadequate that tiny word!—both Him and all those who have responded to His prompting by generously helping us reach this goal.
  • Colorblind Christians: White Evangelical Institutions and Theologies of Race in the Era of Civil Rights

    Colorblind Christians: White Evangelical Institutions and Theologies of Race in the Era of Civil Rights

    COLORBLIND CHRISTIANS: WHITE EVANGELICAL INSTITUTIONS AND THEOLOGIES OF RACE IN THE ERA OF CIVIL RIGHTS A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Jesse Nathaniel Curtis December 2019 Examining Committee Members: Lila Corwin Berman, Advisory Chair, Department of History Bryant Simon, Department of History Harvey Neptune, Department of History Paul Harvey, External Member, University of Colorado © Copyright 2019 by Jesse Curtis All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Colorblind Christians: White Evangelical Institutions and Theologies of Race in the Era of Civil Rights, traces the history of black and white evangelical encounters between the 1960s and 1990s. In the crucible of these encounters, white evangelicals forged a new theology of race: Christian colorblindness. Drawing on biblical idioms and the rhetoric of spiritual unity, white evangelicals turned their back on white supremacist theologies even as they resisted black evangelical calls for a more thorough redistribution of power. In the ambiguous space between racist reaction and anti-racist Christianity, white evangelicals successfully expanded their movement and adapted to the changes the civil rights movement wrought. Professing to be united in Christ, they molded an evangelical form of whiteness while proclaiming colorblind intentions. Colorblind Christians embraced a politics of church primacy. They believed that conversion to evangelical Christianity, not systemic change or legal reform, was the source of racial progress. When people became Christians, their new identity as members of the Body of Christ superseded any racial identity. Black evangelicals could use such claims to press for inclusion in white evangelical institutions.

    Autumn 2000 Wheaton Time Out Sports & Rec Complex opens The Vietnam Era d ear friends— They were my years, the ’60s and ’70s. I recall them vividly.Those of us who came of age during that period all remember them vividly. But we do not all remember them the same way. I grew up during the ’50s in a leafy suburb of Detroit, one very much like Wheaton.Those were idyllic times for some, but for others they were dull and conformist, and for those with eyes to see, foreboding. I remember the first time I read the name Rosa Parks.As a boy I witnessed the ugly scenes from Birmingham,Alabama, and saw the emergence of an eloquent black preacher named Martin Luther King, along with the movement for which he stood.Then came the ’60s. I finished high school at the beginning of the decade and then spent the next 13 years as a full-time student, experiencing the events of each of those years, as they say, up close and personal.The protracted war in Vietnam,three national assassinations, the dawn of the so-called “sexual revolution,” the rise of a pervasive drug culture, sit-ins, protests, campus bombings, Kent State, Woodstock, Roe v.Wade—all these came during my student years. It was an extraordinary period from which America emerged in some ways wiser and better, but in other ways wounded, impoverished, and degraded. These two decades are considered a watershed in American history, and rightly so. Our nation went into them one thing and came out quite another.We who grew into adulthood during those fascinating years were inevitably marked by them, for good or ill.And from this effect Wheaton College was not exempt.

  • Spring 2001 Wheaton

    Spring 2001 Wheaton

    Spring 2001 Wheaton Honey Rock at 50 d ear friends— There exists at Honey Rock Camp a president’s cabin called Elim.The name, which means “oaks,” is taken from Exodus 15:27:“Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy trees, and they camped there beside the waters.” Built during the tenure of President V.Raymond Edman and then expanded under Hudson Armerding ’41, Elim sits in a secluded stand of hemlock, surrounded on three sides by water. It has become for Sherri and me a wonderful retreat. Many go to Honey Rock for the activities; certainly the kids do all summer. Others go for relationships, spiritual growth, learning, or service. But Honey Rock is also, blessedly, a place where one can still find solitude. There is nothing quite like the quietness of Honey Rock mornings, or the fury of a storm bustling toward you across the lake; like studying close-up the frail forms of the fawns feeding just outside your window at dusk, or drifting quietly on the lake, watching a pair of loons appear and disappear beneath the surface; or spotting the arc of an eagle’s flight, or, as Sherri and I glimpsed this past year, the fleeting form of a mountain lion. Honey Rock has always played a special role at Wheaton College. For a half century its people, programs, and splendid northwoods location have contributed a unique dimension to the College’s life. In this issue of Wheaton, we take the opportunity to look back over those 50 years, and then look forward to what lies ahead for Honey Rock Camp.
