Reason and the Spirit
The Christian University in British, American and Australian History
Abstract
The bold thesis of this address: In navigating the long journey of the development of Christian higher education institutions into universities, two realities are inescapable: First, any Christian higher education institution must have a symbiotic relationship with its Christian constituency, whether that be a church, or a denomination (Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Australian Christian Churches). Second, it must satisfy the requirements of the State for academic standards and social and cultural utility. From these two essential realities, two corollaries follow, the first sobering, the second encouraging. If you do not observe and satisfy these twin realities, you will fail: your doom is writ. But if you do observe them, success is inevitable.
