Of course most students at Brethren-related colleges are not from our tradition. However, there's no reason why we can't let our light shine with a different approach. Maybe it's really true that we are a "historic" peace church, and not a "living" peace church as we ought to be. I’m appalled at lots that happens in our “peace” church these days.

We should be the ones pioneering different techniques--consulting with everyone from CPT to mental health centers. It is quite unfair to expect anyone else to live up to our ideals if do not ourselves.

There are many other ways to protect students and faculty. Our city police are well trained to do the needed protection. If new ideas are helpful, the Brethren colleges ought to come up with them. guns in schools of all kinds do not make students safer. There are many other ways to protect students and faculty.
