...their views. Now, mainly in reaction to the protesters, overt campus activity in support of U.S. policy is growing. As a petition signed by 1,300 Harvard stu dents puts it, many students "wish to disassociate ourselves from that vocal minority which, distrusting American intentions, seeks to obstruct and mis represent American policy...

Thus, says Cox, if the church is to preach God to the emerging secular city, it must find a secular, pragmatic way of proclaiming him in mis-worldly terms.

For that reason, Cox suggests that the church may have to declare a moratorium on talk about "God" until there comes a better...
