Calling for Change at Wheaton

In the new First Things, Wheaton College prof Alan Jacobs explores the Joshua Hochschild firing controversy.  I hesitate to quote from it because the entire piece offers key insights for our ongoing conversation on Catholic identity and higher education, but here is his bottom line:

The Reformation may not be over, but many of the suspicions and hostilities that accompanied it should be. Wheaton could strike a great blow, not for insipid and vacuous “moral and religious influences,” but for true Christian unity, if it welcomed into its midst Josh Hochschild and other Catholic teacher-scholars who share his passion for Christian truth.
