text: Hmm, 78 [now 83!]  comments and counting.  Mostly rather argumentative.  What could I, as a no-longer practicing Christian,  possibly add about Northwest Christian University's  policies?
  Well, it seems to me, that while NCU's beliefs are not my own, they have a right to create an educational institution upholding their own values as they understand them without us telling them what to do. That's a right I'd want to have, within reasonable limits,  if I were to form an educational  group with like-minded people  of my own. 
  Having attended a denominational university myself I prefer a secular institution such as the University of Oregon.  However I appreciate the sincerity  of their beliefs at NCU and the richness of the diversity they add to our cultural landscape.
