Control over Christian Educational Institutions

assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. II Timothy

message:
~ edited
“As a committed Christian myself, I have often been troubled by
the relative rarity of serious dialog between science and faith, and I regret
that I won't be able to enjoy the interplay tonight…
“The finished sequence will be
available in 2002, or possibly sooner. Though heavily capitalized efforts are
also underway in the private sector to determine this information for private
gain, and restrict access to its use by patenting or secrecy, the publicly
funded international human genome project is absolutely committed to the goal
of placing all the information that comes out of the human sequencing effort in
the public domain...
“But of course genetic information
can also be misused. Recognizing this fact, the Human Genome Project has from
the outset set aside a significant portion of its budget to explore the
Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (the so-called ELSI program) of this
accelerated pace of genetic research. Out of this has come a wealth of
excellent scholarship and analysis, allowing us to focus on real problems (not
the Hollywood version), and to develop a range of potential solutions…
“Most observers would agree that the
use of such approaches to alleviate suffering and prevent serious illness is a
good thing, and is entirely consistent with long held Christian principles.
Christ Himself spent a great deal of His short time on earth healing the
sick‹surely He intended for us to notice that. The rejection of all genetic
research, as some extremists have proposed, would thus be the most unethical
stance of all…
“As people of faith, we should be
prepared to make a reasoned, logical case for where the line should be drawn…
“Proverbs 19:2 says ‘It is not good
to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way’ (NIV). Guided
by the wisdom of Drs. Koop, Bohlin, and Peters, I am confident that your zeal
and knowledge will be well blended this evening.”

membership on the John Templeton Foundation advisory board.

Jean Bethke Elstain and the Martin
E. Marty Center
The Martin E. Marty Center is the institute within the
University of Chicago’s Divinity School where Jean Bethke
Elshtain is on the faculty. The Marty Center, named
after Martin E. Marty, was “founded to promote public
religion endeavors. Marty serves on the John Templeton
Foundation advisory and is a researcher at the Park Ridge Center For the Study
of Health, Faith and Ethics. John Kilner,
President of the Center for Bioethics & Human
Dignity/CBHD, worked at Park Ridge Center previously. The
Center for Bioethics and Wilberforce Forum are promoted as the Christian answer to the genetics/ethics problem, but CBHD and Wilberforce Forum are,
in fact, a vehicle for controlling Christian opposition on this matter. The two are funded by undisclosed foundations and corporations. It
is quite possible that Sir John Templeton contributes to their coffers.

International School of

Rich Poll and his wife Pamela Poll attended Campus Crusade’s ISOT

Hanegraaff. When Poll left in 1995 to return to ISOT he wrote on the CRI text
files/message board that he managed:
Copyright
1995 by the Christian Research Institute.
"You are reading the last issue of the BBS-FYI that I'll be writing for CRI.
<sniff> This news comes after having received a wonderful offer from the International
School of Theology (ISOT). At ISOT my new position will be that of an
independent research associate. Even so I will be continuing with CRI as a
research consultant at-large indefinitely. Look for more news from me
this Fall on related developments.
Anticipating your questions:
CRI has no official e-mail address or BBS.
There is presently no one at CRI to take over the BBS-FYI.
I do not know if the CRI TEXT software package will be updated in the future.
Nevertheless, by His grace I *will* be able to continue feeding content to the
CRI-Article list. The CRI-Article list will therefore be where to look
for news of changes to the above.
The BBS-FYI is an in-house publication of the Christian Research Institute
Compiled and reported by Rich Poll
Poll’s Apologia is an affiliate to Lausanne’s
EMNR/Evangelical Ministries to New Religions. Apologia and the Apologetics
Index [Anton Hein] were set up about the time of Poll’s departure from CRI.
Alan Scholes, who is on the ISOT faculty is also on the Apologia board of
directors with Ron Rhodes who also worked at Christian Research Institute. It
doesn’t appear that Poll, Rhodes or Paul Carden left CRI over the storm of
controversy which has surrounded Hank Hanegraaff over the years; Theirs seems
to have been an affable departure from CRI. Rhodes even implied in his closing
note to the CRI message board that he would continue to work with CRI. A
footnote on the Apologetics Index makes a reference to its having a working
arrangement with Campus Crusade’s Leadership U:
