As I write, Ryken and his fellow administrators have been announcing several campus celebrations of their Report's spiritual accomplishments, congratulating themselves publicly and issuing invitations to join them in their joy. Recently they publicized their latest one, announcing they had issued an invitation to the Rev. Dr. Charlie Dates to come and bless them for their surrogate repentance:

But let us keep in mind the point of this article. President J. Oliver Buswell Jr. had founded the Department of Anthropology at Wheaton way back in 1937 when Anthropology was the "principal science concerned with race," and this Wheaton College Statement on Race Relations produced by Wheaton's Department of Sociology and Anthropology was the fruit of President Buswell's opposition to racism.

Who has the temerity to deny this?

President Buswell was no fundamentalist, hick, or country bumpkin. He knew precisely what he was doing when he hired Alexander Grigolia, the Sorbonist, to profess Anthropology part time. He knew precisely what he was doing when he brought Grigolia on full time. He knew precisely what he was doing when he tasked Grigolia with founding Wheaton's Department of Anthropology way back in 1937 when, as Wheaton College today brags, "Wheaton's Anthropology program was one of the first of its kind among national liberal arts colleges."

Excerpt:
President Phil Ryken along with his Trustees and employees have judged President Buswell uncharitably, and this is sin.

If any of us were to put ourselves in President Buswell's shoes, we would easily see ourselves doing as he did. If President Ryken and his Trustees were to put themselves in President Buswell's shoes, they would easily see themselves doing as he did. With them, we would do well to ask ourselves what we would have done differently?

The final two decades of Joe Sobran's life, Fran Griffin did us kindly by serving as Joe's publisher. Before then, for many years Joe had been published by National Review, but Buckley began pressuring Joe to shut up about Israel.

This picture is dispositive evidence that President Phil Ryken and his Trustees’ denunciation of President Buswell is a lie.

Now is the time to be wise as serpents. Many of the men who, in your hour of need, will present themselves to you as so-called "conservatives" in the PCA, yet they have managed to continue within the post-Revoice PCA without making any fuss noticeable enough to get the powers-that-be angry at them. How does that work? Hasn't your congregation had enough of so-called "conservatives" who hide from danger?

Don't go with the old and established again. It's done you wrong.

Mom, you especially have been an example to me. I know I kid you frequently about your frugality; but even more frequently, I see how you are able to help us all when we have needs, because of your own selflessness. Plus, there is no mistaking who Mary Lee’s mother is. When I interview candidates for our church and talk with other pastors...

Excerpt:
Finally (and maybe the very worst thing about the Report as a report), is that G.R.A.C.E. in their Report neither recommends not brings any accountability to Tenth's pastors and elders who sinned so flagrantly against their flock.

Really, it would have been better if the Report had not been written than to write it using nostrums like the need for better communication and "transparency." When such evil is recounted and the Report follows up by saying this and that evil need better "transparency," what the reader learns is that evil has no consequences. He learns to sin that the work of G.R.A.C.E. may abound.

No teeth at all. Not a single consequence required by the Report for those who betrayed their calling to protect Tenth's sheep.

Excerpt:
It's been seven weeks since G.R.A.C.E. released their Report documenting the betrayal of the souls of Tenth Presbyterian Church by their pastors and elders. This betrayal is most visible in the G.R.A.C.E. Report, starting with the facts they record concerning Sr. Minister Phil Ryken leading his elders to cover up the homoerotic assaults against young men committed by Tenth's choir director, Paul Jones.

Ryken and his elders were informed of Jones's crimes back in 2001.
