Testing the Traditions. Such a confrontation with traditional belief would require heroic generosity from theologians, he admits. Not only must they be ecumenical, willing to examine and learn from other traditions, but they should also be thoroughly objective with regard to their own faith, winnowing the wheat from the chaff without worrying about the chaff. All a priori assumptions must thus be avoided, even so basic an assumption as one that places Christ at the starting point of its theology before examining Christian tradition in the light of other intellectual disciplines. "Theology," insists Berger, "must begin and end with...
THERE is a great deal of evidence in his article that Dean Ford does regard the present arrangements of power and authority as more or less inviolable.

Worse, he plainly preferred his parents' company to her own. "All their conversation," she wrote, acidly describing an evening with her in-laws, "was about themselves and John...
James T. Kilbreth '69, emphasized the direct connection between ROTC and the U.S. military establishment. He said that SDS did not regard it as a legitimate undergraduate organization, since "it supplies the Army with junior level officers which it needs to carry out its policies...
