In reply to Emily.

My freshman year, a story in a national Catholic magazine stated, paraphrased, that students at UT were orthodox/devout/faithful/whatever-word-you-want-to-use not because of the ministry at the UCC but in spite of it. It reminds me, in some ways, of my high school. Back in the 80's, apparently, it was known as having gang problems, though by the time I was there, none of that was present. Other parents gave me mom flack for her letting me go to the "gang school".

Labels stick long after any usefulness they may have enjoyed.

We need to make that talk happen sooner rather than later :-)
