...Isaac case also brings the disagreement over the Department's intellectual focus to light. Isaac charged, in a letter to President Bok in 1975, that the ad hoc committee which considered his tenure was told not to appoint Africanists, although Isaac's field is Ethiopic languages and literatures and church history...

In addition, the celibacy vow binds a man in perpetuity, he says. The candidate who feels a vocation has a long time to decide and must be sure before saying yes. After that he must keep...
