OK so anyone know anything about MT at William Peace University?Mars Hill? Shorter Univ? Coker College? Thanks!!
Shorter went through a significant controversy a few years back regarding a new requirement for faculty and students to sign a"Personal Lifestyle Statement" that said, among other things, “I reject as acceptable all sexual activity not in agreement with the Bible, including, but not limited to, premarital sex, adultery, and homosexuality.”

Here is a thread from this forum during that period:

As noted in the article, other colleges have similar requirements, the controversy at Shorter was acute because of the rapid change from a previous attitude of tolerance to a stricter doctrine.
Don’t expect them to be doing Spring Awakening, The Wild Party, or Rent anytime soon.
Or La Cage Aux Folles, Carousel, Cabaret, The Producers, A Chorus Line, Kiss of the Spider Woman or many other things on a list that could go on and on…
As I have said, I do know a few Shorter grads and current students. They are some of the most welcoming, wonderful (and even a few gay ones) people I know.
They do have one young actress graduating this year who I thought was phenomenal when I saw her.
