| | The Absurdity of ARIL |
 | | The thought and word and action occasioned by ARIL has been important in exposing the wretched situation of the American university and in nurturing some human beings--faculty and students, trustees and administrators, chaplains and campus ministers--to cope with the demonic, incarnate and militant in the authority, tradition, ideology and institution of the university. |
 | | Withal there was such a plethora of churches, denominations and sects, each with its doctrines and versions, that it would overtax the facility of the university to cope with all of them, while to deal with some would imply bias or preference, or, even, constitute proselytizing. |
 | | More than that, in the midst of demonic reality, while death is most awesome, in the present age, ARIL means, absurdly, a resilient presence in the university confessing the power of the Word of God to renew the mind. |
