    Carl Mcintire and the Politicization of Fundamentalism

    No Uncertain Trumpet: Carl McIntire and the Politicization of Fundamentalism A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS By Paul Matzko May, 2010 Thesis Approvals: David Watt, Thesis Advisor, Department of History Jonathan Wells, Temple University Department of History ABSTRACT Fundamentalist preacher Carl McIntire played an important role in the politicization of fundamentalism. His political beliefs and activism complicate the standard accountings for the rise of modern conservatism and the New Christian Right. Hispolitics were inherited from Gresham Machen and were rooted in the nineteenth century tension between evangelical Whigs and confessional Democrats. McIntire’s libertarian political philosophy coalesced during the denominational politics of the fundamentalist – modernist controversy of the 1920s and ‘30s.He criticized theological modernists for supporting an expansion of federal government authority and being “soft” on communism. He gained national attention for his campaigns to purchases airtime on radio stations. McIntire influenced a number of prominent fundamentalist leaders, like Billy Hargis, Fred Schwarz, and Francis Schaeffer. McIntire’s political consciousness can be used to describe the concepts of “ideological creep” and “mainstreaming.” i TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………………………….i CHAPTER 1.

McIntire’s “crusade” against the Federal Communications Commission and the Fairness Doctrine brought national attention to the doctrine. This attention influenced the FCC, and in 1987, the Commission repealed this regulatory policy. WXUR is the only radio or television station in American history to be denied license renewal by the FCC as a direct result of Fairness Doctrine violations. This dissertation argues that McIntire and WXUR are underappreciated factors that contributed to the demise of the doctrine. Introduced in 1959 when Congress amended the 1934 Communications Act, the doctrine required radio and television stations to meet two requirements: (1) devote a reasonable percentage of broadcast time to discussions of issues of public importance within the community the licensee served, and (2) design and provide programs so that the public had a reasonable opportunity to hear different and opposing views and arguments on the public issues of interest within that community.

    Shelton College and State Licensing of Religious Schools: an Educator's View of the Interface Between the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses

    SHELTON COLLEGE AND STATE LICENSING OF RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS: AN EDUCATOR'S VIEW OF THE INTERFACE BETWEEN THE ESTABLISHMENT AND FREE EXERCISE CLAUSES RUSSELL KIRK* I INTRODUCTION Near to the breakwater at the faded old seaside resort of Cape May, New Jersey, there looms an immense hotel of the twenties-formerly the fashionable Admiral Hotel, now called the Christian Admiral. Today it is the property of a small fundamentalist denomination, the Bible Presbyterian Church. To the rear of the hotel stand the new buildings of Shelton College, a Bible Presbyterian school for educating preachers and teachers-something of a seminary, something of a liberal arts college. The state of New Jersey has tried to prevent Shelton College from operating within the state; but this attempt has been rebuffed, at least for the time being, by a federal court ruling.' Persistently, the state of New Jersey has also tried to prevent Shelton College from conferring degrees; here a federal court decision has sus- tained Shelton College again, at least for the time being.2 Whether Shelton can function fully as a school of higher studies, or survive at all, will probably be decided judicially within a few months. This interesting case is intimately connected with the developing law of church- state contacts, including the entanglement test announced for the Establishment Clause by the Supreme Court.3 As such the case raises again long-debated ques- tions of relationships between church and state in America. The principal issue in the Shelton College case is this: how far may state agencies regulate "pervasively religious" educational institutions? May a state forbid a college or school to exist unless it complies with state requirements and regulations repugnant to that educa- tional institution's sponsoring religious body? Or, if such a college or school is Copyright © 1981 by Duke University * Director, social-science program, Educational Research Council of America; editor, THE UNIVER- SITY BOOKMAN.

Sandra O'Connor (R-Paradise Valley), Senate Majority Leader, is hopeful that the bill will go to the floor before the end of this legislative session. "I'm working hard to see to it that no matter what the personal views of people are, the measure doesn't get held up in our caucus." Note: Attached is an affidavit signed by former Arizona State Senator Trudy Camping, stating that O'Connor voted against the memorial in caucus. [From the Phoenix Gazette, May 15, 1974] PRO-LIFE HEAD RAPS SENATE GOP The president of Arizona Youth for Life has blamed the GOP Senate caucus for the failure of a legislative memorial against abortion to be passed. Margaret Saunders of Scottsdale, head of the 400-member student organization formed recently, said, "No other measure up for the state legislature's consideration this session had such an overwhelming demonstration of citizen support." She said that more than 10,000 persons attended a prolife rally at the State Capitol in January and 35,000 persons signed petitions supporting the memorial introduced in the House, which approved the measure 41-43 in March. "Thus the very heavy responsibility for blocking this measure to death rests squarely with the Senate GOP caucus," which did not schedule the proposal onto the Senate floor for action. Miss Saunders said. She said the group will "increase our determination to electorally remove from office that insensitive group who blockaded the efforts of so many other conscien- tious legislators of both parties."

DEPRESSION AND THE CHILD OF GOD ~ By David Cloud ollowing are some biblical truths about depression and emotional melancholy. The quotes from Charles Spurgeon are from Lectures to My Students unless otherwise noted. We quote him because he described his depression so plainly and gave some excellent instruction about it. Depression is part of this fallen life and its reason will not always be known (Psa. 119:28; Rom. 8:22-23; 9:2; Phil. 2:26; 1 Pet. 1:6). “I note that some whom I greatly love and esteem, who are, in my judgment, among the very choicest of God’s people, nevertheless, travel most of the way to heaven by night” (Spurgeon) “Hours after, I have been myself depressed, and I have felt an inability to shake it off” (Spurgeon). “I am the subject of depression so fearful that I hope none of you ever get to such extremes of wretchedness as I go “I could weep by the hour like a child, and yet I knew not to” (Spurgeon).
