Liberty alumni trash Trump endorsement
“For a school that focuses on loving God and loving other people, it’s odd to endorse someone who only seems to love himself and other people who love him.”
.. “To try to equate Christian fruit with creating jobs is laughable,” said Dean Inserra, a 2003 Liberty graduate and lead pastor of City Church Tallahassee, a Southern Baptist congregation in Tallahassee, Fla., with about 1,500 attendees.
.. But several alumni said the endorsement illustrated that Falwell had lost sight of the university’s mission to “build champions for Christ.”
“The goal of Liberty University is not to defeat Democrats,” Inserra said. “A populist nationalism has become the chief religion of the day at Liberty. … This is a tangible example of what it looks like to gain the whole world but lose your soul.”
