I'm a Hillsdale grad and the education I got there made me who I am today. I'm also a conservative Lutheran--not an evangelical in my telling but probably in yours. If that's a stumbling block to you getting anything out of my political analysis, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna throw what I know.

Thank you for your response, Andrew. I am an alumnus of Bethel University (St. Paul). I wouldnтАЩt be who I am today without that start. And in fact, two years ago I was honored to be alumnus of the year for Bethel Theological Seminary. I have many life-long friends from Bethel and chaired the committee for my classтАЩs fiftieth reunion. Despite that, I do not wear Bethel gear because it associates me with stances I repudiate. My feelings for Bethel run deep, but I would not want a cap or hoodie with BethelтАЩs insignia to keep people from hearing my support for LGBTQ+ folk, advocacy for GazaтАЩs refugees, or concerns about anthropogenic climate change. In particular, I would not want to be associated in any degree with Christian Nationalism. The issue is a consistent message.
