To celebrate the dedication of its new $2,000,000 School of Theology and its $1,000,000 chapel, the ninth largest university in the U.S. last week held a two-day "MidCentury Institute on Religion in a World of Tensions."

They make claims to the discovery of immutable truths, and yet scoff at all philosophical absolutes. Actually, their truth is not truth at all, but "a body of well-supported probable opinion only, and its ideas may be exploded at any time...
