http://www.wayoflife.org/index_files/when_christian_schools_undermine.html; QUOTES: This college is the show-pony of the PBS series, showing viewers how people can mix ‘God’ and evolution. But one must wonder how the school defines a ‘vital Christian experience’ since their professors evidently don’t believe the Bible, the only source of information about Christ. There was quite a stir back in 1961 when Prof. Walter Hearn promoted evolution at Wheaton. One example is Keith Miller, who claimed on the PBS program to be an ‘ardent evangelical Christian.’ He asserted, without evidence, that there are lots of transitional forms. When questioned, he said that God chose Adam and Eve out of other humans that existed. The sad thing about Wheaton is the admission--shown on the final PBS episode--that most people become more confused about their Christian faith while they attend this “Christian” college. The students wonder whether there’s a place for God if evolution is true, and rightly so.

EVANGELICAL CATHOLIC UNITY CONVERSATION AT WHEATON COLLEGE
(Friday Church News Notes, February 10, 2012, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - Wheaton College will host an ecumenical discussion on March 26 featuring “evangelical” John Armstrong and Roman Catholic Cardinal Francis George of Chicago. Called “A Conversation on Unity in Christ’s Mission,” the dialogue will “explore the common ground and current challenges that face Catholics and evangelical Protestants in Christian faith and mission.” In January of this year Armstrong said that he became more aware of the need for unity on a visit to the Center for Unity in Rome in March 2011. He even visited the grave of the priest (Paul Wattson) who founded the global Week of Prayer for Christian unity. The spiritual blindness that has permeated evangelicalism today is the product of the “repudiation of separatism” and the ensuing corruption that is the result of “evil communications” (1 Cor. 15:33). In the 1990s, Armstrong was the editor of Roman Catholicism: Evangelical Protestants Analyze What Divides and Unites Us (Moody Press, 1994). The book completely ignored the Bible’s command to mark and avoid doctrinal error and apostasy (e.g., Romans 16:17; 2 Timothy 3:5), which is the only sure protection against the leaven of heresy. Michael Horton concluded his chapter, “What Still Keeps Us Apart?” with these words: “I do not suggest that we should give up trying to seek visible unity, nor that we refuse to dialogue with Roman Catholic laypeople and theologians, many of whom may be our brothers and sisters” (Roman Catholicism, p. 264).

Wheaton College Professor Comes Out
Wearing Hijab, Quotes Pope Francis:
‘We All Worship Same God’
BY HEATHER CLARK
SEE: http://christiannews.net/2015/12/14/wheaton-college-professor-comes-out-wearing-hijab-quotes-pope-francis-we-all-worship-same-god/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
WHEATON, Ill. — A professor at a prominent Christian university in Illinois posted photos of herself wearing an Islamic hijab this past week, stating that she was doing so to show solidarity with Muslims.
Larycia Hawkins is an associate political science director at Wheaton College, one of the most renown Christian schools in the world. On Thursday, she posted two photos of herself wearing a hijab, and stated in a lengthy explanation that she plans to wear it everywhere she goes during the Advent—including at the Christian college and to church.
“I stand in human solidarity with my Muslim neighbor because we are formed of the same primordial clay, descendants of the same cradle of humankind—a cave in Sterkfontein, South Africa that I had the privilege to descend into to plumb the depths of our common humanity in 2014,” Hawkins wrote.
She said that not only does she have a common ancestry with Muslims, but that Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
“I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book,” Hawkins asserted. “And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God.”
“But as I tell my students, theoretical solidarity is not solidarity at all. Thus, beginning tonight, my solidarity has become embodied solidarity,” she continued.
Hawkins said that wearing the hijab is part of her Christmas worship, and that she is seeking to combat what she perceives to be “Islamophobia” in society.
“As part of my Advent worship, I will wear the hijab to work at Wheaton College, to play in Chi-town, in the airport and on the airplane to my home state that initiated one of the first anti-Sharia laws (read: unconstitutional and Islamophobic), and at church,” she wrote.
The professor said that her wish for the season would be to see a “large-scale movement” of women wearing hijabs in solidarity with Muslims, noting that she even obtained approval from the Council on American-Islamic relations.
“I invite all women into the narrative that is embodied, hijab-wearing solidarity with our Muslim sisters—for whatever reason,” she stated.
Friends and followers of Hawkins’ Facebook page praised the professor, with some posting photos of themselves wearing a hijab to show that they had joined her movement.
“I too am a devout Christian that embraces my Muslim brothers and sisters as people of the book that worship the same God,” wrote Cynthia Petterson. “Embodied solidarity, I love it! You are amazing Larycia.”
“Thank you for walking this path before us and inviting us to follow. You are a picture of the faith I know and trust,” Paulann Canty stated.
But when reports of Hawkins gesture expanded beyond her Facebook page, others expressed deep concern.
“Wheaton College needs to sit down and have a talk with this ‘lady’ and tell her that the god of Islam was a pagan god, a moon god and is not the same God JEHOVAH that we worship, and that Islam is NOT that peaceful religion that she believes it is,” wrote one commenter. “If she is this naive as a teacher, God help her.”
“She is trying to serve two masters. As Scripture says, we cannot serve two masters because we will love one and hate the other or love the other and hate the one,” another stated. “God is a jealous God and will not share His glory with demons and pagans. I am sad that she is wrongly influencing young people seeking to serve Christ.”

“In the midst of a toxic socio-political environment where Muslims are the target of stigmatization, acts of aggression, and proposed policy which targets and alienates them, Dr. Hawkins acted in love and in solidarity to be an example of how Christ would respond,” the petition reads in part.
“There is nothing in Dr. Hawkins’ public statements that goes against the belief in the power and nature of God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit that the Statement of Faith deems as a necessary requirement for affiliation with Wheaton College,” it says.
Over 2,200 supporters have signed the petition, including those not affiliated with the college. But not all students agree with the professor.

December 16, 2015
Wheaton College is an academic community within a shared framework of faith that values a robust exchange of ideas among faculty and students on the critical issues of the day.
On December 15, 2015, Wheaton College placed Associate Professor of Political Science Dr. Larycia Hawkins on paid administrative leave in order to give more time to explore theological implications of her recent public statements concerning Christianity and Islam. In the interim, College leadership has listened to the concerns of its students expressed through social media, a peaceful demonstration and one-on-one meetings with the administration.
As a Christian liberal arts institution, Wheaton College embodies a distinctive Protestant evangelical identity, represented in our Statement of Faith, which guides the leadership, faculty and students of Wheaton at the core of our institution’s identity. Upon entering into a contractual employment agreement, each of our faculty and staff members voluntarily commits to accept and model the Statement of Faith with integrity, compassion and theological clarity.
Contrary to some media reports, social media activity and subsequent public perception, Dr. Hawkins’ administrative leave resulted from theological statements that seemed inconsistent with Wheaton College’s doctrinal convictions, and is in no way related to her race, gender or commitment to wear a hijab during Advent.
Wheaton College believes the freedom to express one’s religion and live out one’s faith is vital to maintaining a pluralistic society and is central to the very reason our nation was founded, enabling us to live together despite our deepest differences. Equally important is the freedom of religious organizations to embody their deeply held -convictions.
Wheaton College rejects religious prejudice and unequivocally condemns acts of aggression and intimidation against anyone. Our Community Covenant upholds our obligations as Christ-followers to treat and speak about our neighbors with love and respect, as Jesus commanded us to do. But our compassion must be infused with theological clarity.
The freedom to wear a head scarf as a gesture of care and compassion for individuals in Muslim or other religious communities that may face discrimination or persecution is afforded to Dr. Hawkins as a faculty member of Wheaton College. Yet her recently expressed views, including that Muslims and Christians worship the same God, appear to be in conflict with the College’s Statement of Faith.
In all matters of faculty and staff conflict with the Statement of Faith, Wheaton College undergoes dialogue to determine if agreement can be found. Statements have been made in recent days raising similar questions by other faculty members from whom the College requested clarification. In those instances, the individuals rapidly and emphatically explained their opinions and affirmed their full consistency with the theological identity of Wheaton College.
However, the views expressed by Dr. Hawkins were more complex. Discussions between her and the administration were at an initial stage, and she was placed on administrative leave by Provost Dr. Stanton L. Jones in order to allow adequate time for reflection and review by Dr. Hawkins and the administration.
In her most recent statement, Dr. Hawkins seems committed to her personal theological stance, as stated in social media posts and subsequent media interviews; she has not yet reconciled her beliefs with the College’s theological position.
Dr. Hawkins will remain on paid administrative leave while the College continues the review process to which she is entitled as an employee and faculty member. This will include an assessment of her views related to our Statement of Faith through respectful and fair dialogue on these matters of strategic importance to our institutional identity and mission.
December 15, 2015
In response to significant questions regarding the theological implications of statements that Associate Professor of Political Science Dr. Larycia Hawkins has made about the relationship of Christianity to Islam, Wheaton College has placed her on administrative leave, pending the full review to which she is entitled as a tenured faculty member.
Wheaton College faculty and staff make a commitment to accept and model our institution's faith foundations with integrity, compassion and theological clarity. As they participate in various causes, it is essential that faculty and staff engage in and speak about public issues in ways that faithfully represent the College's evangelical Statement of Faith.

Apostate Christian College “Talks” With Professor Who Believes Muslims Worship The Same God As Christians – Does Not Ask Her To Resign
SEE: http://the-trumpet-online.com/apostate-christian-college-talks-with-professor-who-believes-muslims-worship-the-same-god-as-christians-does-not-ask-her-to-resign/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
WHEATON, Ill. — Talks have broken down between a prominent Christian-identified university in Illinois and an associate political science director who was placed on leave after she declared in a self-initiated hijab-wearing campaign to fight “Islamophobia” that Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
As previously reported, Larycia Hawkins posted to Facebook two photos of herself wearing a hijab earlier this month, and stated in a lengthy explanation that she plans to wear it everywhere she goes during the Advent—including at the Christian college and to church.
“I stand in human solidarity with my Muslim neighbor because we are formed of the same primordial clay, descendants of the same cradle of humankind—a cave in Sterkfontein, South Africa that I had the privilege to descend into to plumb the depths of our common humanity in 2014,” Hawkins wrote.

“As part of my Advent worship, I will wear the hijab to work at Wheaton College, to play in Chi-town, in the airport and on the airplane to my home state that initiated one of the first anti-Sharia laws (read: unconstitutional and Islamophobic), and at church,” she wrote.

In light of controversy over the matter, especially Hawkins assertion that Christians and Muslims worship the same God, the professor was placed on paid administrative leave by university officials while a review would be conducted.
“Wheaton College faculty and staff make a commitment to accept and model our institution’s faith foundations with integrity, compassion, and theological clarity,” the college said in a statement. “As they participate in various causes, it is essential that faculty and staff engage in and speak about public issues in ways that faithfully represent the college’s evangelical Statement of Faith.”
But talks between Wheaton officials and Hawkins have now reached a stalemate as she has refused a proposal by the school to allow her to teach, but with the revocation of her tenure for the next two years.
“I was naively thinking they wanted to cooperate,” she told reporters. “I have tenure, and I have to fight for that.”
Hawkins said that she believes the college is moving toward termination, and remarked that she refuses to resign.
Wheaton officials acknowledged on Tuesday that talks have come to a standstill as Hawkins has refused to continue discussions with members of administration about her “same God” beliefs.
“Extremely frank conversation and communication have taken place in recent days,” the college said in a statement on Tuesday. “The college’s perspective is that additional theological clarification is necessary before Dr. Hawkins may resume her full duties. Regrettably, Dr. Hawkins has clearly stated her unwillingness to further participate in clarifying conversations.”
However, officials denied any attempts to force Hawkins out of her teaching position.
“At Dr. Hawkins’ request, the college proposed the terms of separation if she chose to resign. We have not asked her to resign and did not suggest that she do so,” the statement said. “Although Dr. Hawkins and the college have begun discussions regarding the possibility of a voluntary resignation, those discussions have not yet been successful and may have reached an impasse.”
It reiterated that the school takes its Statement of Faith seriously.
“[A]ll faculty and staff are expected not merely to sign it as a cursory requirement of employment, but also to affirm it as an expression of their own beliefs,” officials explained. “As they participate in various causes, it is essential that faculty and staff engage and speak about issues in ways that faithfully represent the college’s Statement of Faith, which is at the core of our identity and mission.”
Wheaton hopes to resume discussions after the new year.
