One wonders why those who profess to be Christian parents would send their child for an education in some of these private, Christian denominational, liberal arts colleges!? For instance, ‘An Ivy League-educated scholar called for an end to capitalism as the only means to create a moral world during her recent guest lectures at the Presbyterian-affiliated Maryville College last week.

Skidmore College Professor of Religious Studies Lucia Hulsether said the country is

“drenched” in capitalism’s blood. There is “no nonviolent action” in capitalism, she said.

Hulsether gave two lectures as part of the Margaret M. Cummings Conversations speaker series, which is named for a late Bible studies professor and focuses on “faith, service and learning.”

The lecture series was hosted by the college’s Center for Campus Ministry and held in the school’s chapel as well as recital hall.

The Rev. Anne McKee, the campus minister of Maryville, said the purpose of the lecture series was to answer the question: “What does it mean to be a person of faith in the world?”

In two lectures totaling almost two hours, Professor Hulsether did not bring up Jesus once.

With a stained glass window picturing Jesus behind her, Hulsether promoted Karl Marx’s critiques of capitalism as a remedy for injustice in the world. https://www.thecollegefix.com/faith-lecture-by-religious-studies-professor-lauds-karl-marx-doesnt-mention-jesus/
