The heretic dean is like a wolf guarding the hen house. As a Catholic, "churchy" and art have worked hand-in-hand, until Post-Vatican II. Would Michangelo's "Sistine Chapel" or Chartes Cathedral be classified as "churchy" by Dean Shaw? I would guess Serrano's "Piss Christ" is her ideal of religious art.

Environmentalist should focus less on the environment and more on art

God’s way or man’s way. They should focus more on the fire & brimstone & not on whatever makes ya feel good.

All are welcome, sinners need redemption.

Celebrating their sins does them no favors.

And church services are not debates where competing philosophies (atheism, Islam, polytheism, etc.) are given equal time.

“I think people are always slightly surprised that I’m not very churchy as a person,”

I'm not.

Acts 4:19, 20
But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge; for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

Acts 5:29, 30
But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
“The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross.
“He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
“And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

Yes, foolish woman, focus on your gods, we will focus on THE God of Heaven.

Art can be beautiful. Even inspiring. And yes the Stanford university church is very pretty. But the Stanfords not only left us a beautiful church, they left us a great art collection too. We respectfully suggest you stroll over to the Stanford (Cantor) art museum if you would rather work there. They always can use more docents.

"I think church is about, anyone should be welcome."

And everybody knows your name! Kinda like a tavern, right? God is very clear about who is saved:

"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God,
to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:12,13

This is what happens when the Universities focus less on education and more on political action.

As I suspected, the Very Reverend Dr. Jane Shaw is a lesbian:

Why do you need a school for Religious Life and why do you need to have a homosexual activist as Dean?

Pray America is waking

"For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ."

Jude 1.4

The Very Reverend Dr. Jane Shaw is from the Church of England, I guess they still call themselves “Anglican”, though that is not really the case anymore. They are more like the “Church of the Labour Party”. And their religious doctrine is pretty much distilled to “if it feels good, do it.”

I am reminded of an episode of the BBC comedy Yes, Prime Minister, when the PM had to appoint a new CofE bishop, with his only choices being a Muslim or an atheist.
