In recent-year books, Drs. Harold Lindsell and George Marsden
have documented the sad apostasy of Fuller Seminary, its failure
to affirm inerrancy, its movement toward neo-orthodoxy, etc.
Recent-year speakers have included Roman Catholics, charismatics,
David Yonggi Cho, etc.
Robert Schuller Crystal Cathedral Co-pastor Bruce Larson is
scheduled to teach a Jan. 9-20 course at Fuller. Fuller is deeply
enmeshed in social concerns, and is about as ecumenical as they
come. Even its new office receptionist is Seventh-Day Adventist
minister Bertie Degraphenreed. Of the Fall 1992 student body,
35 percent were female.
There were only 86 doctoral students in the School of Theology,
but 271 in the School of Psychology. A Fuller brochure says roughly
one student out of two is from a mainline church. Presbyterians
are most common, followed by nondenominational, Assemblies of
God, Methodists, and American Baptists. Over one-third are charismatics
or Pentecostals. Richard J. Mouw recently succeeded David Allan
Hubbard as president of Fuller. He says: "I borrow unashamedly
from the teachings of the Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodoxy
in my attempts to grow in holiness." (4/4 USN & WR). |
