Dear Ellis,
Thank you for asking. I am of mixed minds about the matter. I do not want ever to be in the position of telling people outside the church or a church institution how they should deal with the flag. (As I told a Sun reporter when the Senate was debating an amendment on desecration of the flag, I don't think the church has any right to tell Caesar how to regard his idols.) I do get "antsy" when the church itself or one of its institutions adulates or pledges allegiance to the flag. No on [sic] can have two allegiances. In this context, I just wish there were some way to allow the use of the campus without it appearing that it is a Lambuth event. Whether this is possible, I don't know.
Your crypto-Anabaptist friend,
Gene
