Christianity and the Crisis of the Universities - Jessica Hooten Wilson

[@skipferguson3332]

Well said Professor. I am a retired prop. with almost 30 years and the problem gets worse every year. God bless you

[@alisonperry9089]

Jessica Hooten Wilson you are my new hero. I am a fellow founder albeit in a different field...a model of holistic healing for veterans engaging agriculture and peer support in a setting of natural beauty; a working farm & ranch. While as a nonprofit we are not allowed to claim association with any particular religion or political party, I often describe "the Ranch" as "a monastery for veterans." Your talk resonates so much for me with my own journey of leaving the VA/government that medicalizes combat trauma, a psycho-spiritual experience and wound to the soul. As I've deepened in my own spiritual journey and in the beauty of our shared Catholic faith (including the study of monasticism!), so has my work with veterans. Thank you for the insights and inspiration of your beautifully articulate and poignantly important talk!

I “discovered” Dr. Wilson during lockdown. She is a generational gift to us. I cannot overstate the impact the truths she is sharing have had on me and can have on the church and our world. We ignore them at our peril. But more positively, we need to embrace this godly lover of wisdom and inspire more passionate mentors like her to enter the academy and especially the humanities. God bless Jessica and thanks WOF for sharing this video.

"The purpose of education is to teach a person to love what is beautiful" -Plato "This tradition was then inherited and baptized by the monasteries" Wonderfully said

[@mariaogochukwumanu4236]

God bless you a million times. Many voices of those Jesus described as children to whom the secrets of the Kingdom have been revealed must join in teaching and preaching this.

[@EcstaticTemporality]

Well done Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson! I admired your vision, courage, and wisdom.

[@way_truth_life_of_love]

Thank you so much! Hope for the future!!!

[@rickyamante2618]

[@tomlabooks3263]

Beautiful and important message! And thank you for quoting canto 29 of Purgatory!! ❤️

Education to me, in my thoughts, in my heart pursuit, is " Leisure is the disposition of receptive understanding, of contemplative beholding , and immersion -in the real." Josef Pieper. 🧠👁️👁️🙏!

There are more Christians in this world than each one of us knows.

[@anthonyroyka3948]

Before being judge mental about JD Vance, imagine what his education was like in Appalachia. I’m sure he had major help to get out of there and into Harvard, but I know a lot of teachers who do not represent what she is talking about.

[@jsharp3165]

But even those who don’t agree with Dr. Wilson still poured their lives into teaching him. They were not his enemy. St. Paul told us we do not fight against flesh and blood opponents but against the spiritual forces of evil. Calling teachers the enemy is cheap virtue-signaling to a political base. It is not charitable in the least.

[@anthonyroyka3948]

@@jsharp3165 oh good grief, not every teacher is dedicated and noble. I’m a nurse and not every nurse is noble and dedicated. Same goes for every occupation; good and bad in all. There are even some great, dedicated and noble lawyers. Clearly, you drank your kool-aid.

[@jsharp3165]

@@anthonyroyka3948 Of course there are bad eggs. But even they have to invest time and effort. Also, Vance did not grow up in Appalachia, even though he likes to give that impression. He is descended from Appalachian grandparents. So am I. He grew up in a suburb of a major city. So did I. Apparently he was taught well enough to attend OSU and Yale, hardly backward institutions. His gripe with teachers is their politics, not their commitment. And above all, even the "bad" teachers are not our enemy. Spiritual powers and principalities are.

[@EcstaticTemporality]

I would go so far that secular universities and professors with a secular approach are not merely engaged in a self-directed ego drama; many advance a doctrine like social justice (oddly the kind that is divorced from its spiritual tradition), or reduce learning to usefulness - you have degree plans designed around what is useful. Useful to who? Useful for how long?

[@MazBringsby]

Very well said. Thank you.

[@johnmattison1209]

She can be mad about JD Vance, but ye is exactly correct that the ruling class have contempt for the American people.

[@jsharp3165]

The American people have contempt for the American people - if they don't agree with them.

[@dorishertzig7220]

Wow, so much amazing information, excellent -

[@chissstardestroyer]

Well; in academics, the teacher is selling you the course; so you really *are* his customer... hence it really does make sense!

[@jsharp3165]

No. The university "sells" you the course. The university is supposed to optimize your navigation of scheduling, payments, and credits, etc. The teacher is supposed to be there to educate you and mentor you and expand your heart and mind. Not just sell you information pellets.

[@chissstardestroyer]

@@jsharp3165 No, you hire the teacher to aid you in learing to think through the material; the university doesn't have to, and mustn't, arrange the courses for you: that's your job as the student and the customer.

[@jsharp3165]

@@chissstardestroyer I hire no teachers. I don't pay their salary. I write a check to the university. Not to my professor. The only customer service should be in relation to the university. How well my admission, registration, parking, tuition, transcript, and facilities concerns are handled is a customer service concern. And those are all handled by the school. They hire the teacher to teach me and evaluate me.

[@chissstardestroyer]

@@jsharp3165 If you attend any college you *do* hire the teachers; only way to not be involved in hiring them is to not be a customer of their businesses. So you are the one who hired them to instruct you, not someone else.

( Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? ) Quran 2:62 '' Those who believe (in the Quran) and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures) and the Christians and the Sabians->ANYAllah< Is The Protector Of Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues And The Mosques ) Quran 22:40 [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, " Our Lord is God " And were it not that God checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of God is much mentioned. And God will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, God is Powerful and Exalted in Might. Note: Why did Allah protected Churches and Synagogues if they worship false Allah ? ( Why Are There So Many Different Religions In The World ? ) Quran 5 48 ''...... If God wanted He could have made all of you a single nation.( ie single religion ) But He willed otherwise in order to test you in what He has given you (ie Scriptures) therefore try to excel one another in good deeds. Ultimately you all shall return to God then He will show you the truth of those matters in which you '' >DISPUTE verb < not noun like other religions Islam mean "submission" to God ( The above verse saying is that God will not accept a religion from the >MUSLIM< and the Non-Muslims but total "submission" to God ) Question: How Can Muslim And the Non-Muslim "submit" to the God? Answer: Be kind to other human beings and Do not lie, Do not steal, Do not cheat, Do not hurt others, Do not be prideful and Do the charity work. Note: If you obeyed all the ABOVE Allah-God's moral laws "YOU" submitted to God.( ie Islam mean "submission" to God ) The only people who will enter Paradise those who '' Submitted to God '' ( ie by good deeds ) God does NOT accept your religion of birth but only ''Your Total'' Submission to Him. ( God Allows Interfaith Marriages And Eat Food From the Christian And Jew And Vice Versa ) Quran 5:5 ''This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture (ie Christian and Jew) is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers (ie Muslim ) and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture (ie Christian and Jew) before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless and he in the Hereafter will be among the losers.'' Note: > Only < Islam allows interfaith marriages (>14 hundredsSame God< but They are >ALL Corrupt< more or less, some more than others from their original foundational teaching. The older religion are MORE corrupted than newer religion. Question to Muslim and Christian: Does God / Allah only answer your pray ? And God / Allah does not answer non Muslim / non Christian pray? Did Allah '' Canceled '' all other religions Judaism and Christianity? Quran 5:48 '' And We have revealed to you [O Muhammad] the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture ( ie New and old Testament ) and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. >>>TO EACH OF YOU WE PRESCRIBED A LAW AND A METHODone nation>differ qualified < for to enter Paradise ) On the day of judgement God will ''NOT'' judge humanity bases on Sunni Muslim sect VS Shia Muslim sect ''NOR'' by Muslim VS non-Muslim >but< Doer of Goods VS Doer of Evils.

Nothing to say for this person

[@ReligionsFakten]

The problem here is the axiom of christ.

[@christopherland4104]

Simply a bad attempt at a Jordan Peterson philosophical rant. Blaming Universities is a standard Fascist technique. It fails intellectually at every turn. Barron and his non stop political activism is boring and uninspiring.
