Is a moderate/liberal Christian college possible?

Texas Christian University is not a Christian school anymore. They're removed "Christian" from their athletic team names are simply "TCU", the seminary at the university is now a completely independent school, and are working on removing their affiliation with the Disciples of Christ.


I went to ACU (Abilene Christian University), the mission statement is this: "To educate students for Christian service and leadership throughout the world." ACU is affiliated with the Churches of Christ, and requires it's faculty to be a member of it, but due to the unique nature of the CoC, there's a wide variety of beliefs within it. I had liberal professors, conservative professors, and everything in-between.

I didn't know that. One of my cousins is getting her MBA from Texas Christian University right now & loves it so that's what I suggested it.

Yup. In this case, it actually is "Christian in name only".

Is such a thing possible, or is there an inherent conflict when one actually tries to implement it?

Jesuit schools are the closet thing you're going to get due to their history. Outside of various forms of Evangelicalism, Christians don't feel the need to slap "Christian" (Evangelical) veneers on products and services. Still waiting for Christian cheezits.
