	Dean (religion) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In most of the Anglican Communion the dean is the chief resident clergyperson of a cathedral or other collegiate church and the head of the chapter of canons.
		In the Church of England, this official is called a "rural dean" or sometimes, in urban areas, an "area dean" or "regional dean".
		In the Scottish Episcopal Church a dean is the equivalent of an archdeacon of a diocese.

	Dean (education) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In universities in the United Kingdom the Dean is the head of a faculty, a collection of related academic departments.
		It should be noted that the authority of a Dean extents only to their own college: very serious offences, or those that fall out of the perview of the college, are dealt with by the Proctors - the equivalent post for the entire University.
		The job description for Deans at the University of Waterloo is probably typical, and reads in part, "The Dean of a Faculty is primarily a University Officer, serving in that capacity on the Senate, appropriate major committees and on other University bodies.

	The Blog from the Core - "Cliff" Dean's Religion Problem
		Dean's decision to switch churches is not the only way in which his religious journey progressed from more to less structured — or in which he mimicked his class as a whole.
		Dean's comments come as gay marriage is emerging as a defining social issue of the 2004 elections, and one that is dividing the Episcopal Church in the United States and many other Christians and non-Christians.
		Dean, who is a member of the Congregationalist Church, which preaches a liberal brand of Christianity, falls on the side of Episcopal leaders in the United States who recently stirred international controversy by ordaining a gay bishop, and the millions of Americans who do not consider homosexuality a sin.

	Crosswalk.com - Dr. Dean Talks Religion--Or Something Like That
		In the interview, Dean described himself as a committed believer in Jesus Christ and said that he would "include references to Jesus and God in his speeches as he stumps in the South." This came as a shock to the newspaper.
		Dean is running to the left of the other major candidates and he often claims to be running for "the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party." Dean's new denomination, the United Church of Christ, is the vanguard for the theological left--supporting homosexual marriage, homosexual ministers, abortion, and just about every other liberal cause.
		Dean explains that his previous reticence in speaking of his Christian faith is because he holds to "the Northeast tradition," of privacy.

	Boston.com / News / Local / Vt. / Dean now cites religion in signing civil unions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Now, as he seeks the Democratic presidential nomination and tries to connect with voters for whom religion is an important part of their values, Dean has said that his faith was one of the reasons he signed the law.
		Dean left the Episcopal Church about 20 years ago in a dispute with the Burlington diocese, which opposed a bike path he championed to cross lakefront property it owned.
		Dean always seemed to be eager to talk about almost any topic that came up while he was governor.

	Christianity and Politics - Examinging Dean's New Public Religiosity
		Dean has also made it clear that his religious beliefs have not changed during the course of the campaign; he still holds the views that lead him not to attend church, rarely discuss his faith, casually switch denominations, and abuse the Lord's name.
		Dean also ignored the fact that, while all people are born sinful, through the power of Christ's death and resurrection, we can overcome our sinful natures and the desires of the flesh.
		However, Dean's words and actions leave the strong impression that he does not take his faith seriously, and that he views it primarily as a means of overcoming a political disability and persuading swing voters to side with him.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Politics -- Dean wrestles with religion on U.S. campaign trail
		STORM LAKE, Iowa – Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean, a New Englander reluctant to discuss religion on the campaign trail, is finding his voice in time for next month's critical contest in South Carolina where faith is an integral part of life and politics.
		Dean, who is leading eight other Democrats vying for the right to challenge President Bush on Nov. 2, is a Congregationalist who was raised an Episcopalian, but switched in the 1980s during a dispute with the church over a bike path.
		Dean, whose wife is Jewish, said he had thought more about what it meant to be a Christian as he got older and was comfortable with the role of faith in his personal life.

		Dean made it clear, however, that he would be discussing his Christian faith only in Southern states, the states he stereotyped two months ago as being full of rednecks with Confederate flags on their pickup trucks.
		Dean’s Jesus is nothing more than a gee-whiz fictional superhero who is “pretty inspiring,” who liberally heals the consequences of sin but never violates Political Correctness by saying, “Repent and sin no more.” Howard Dean’s Jesus tells people to love their neighbor but never asks them also to love God.
		Dean’s own local church — one of 160 in Vermont that have joined UCC in a New England where the Congregational Church around the time of the American Revolution was the official state church — seems relatively low key about its liberal social agenda.

	Boston.com / News / Nation / Dean starts to talk religion
		Dean, 55, who is a Congregationalist, has run a largely secular campaign to date, rarely speaking about religion except to offer support for separation of church and state.
		Dean has been criticized by some who say that being the "anti-Bush" candidate will win partisans who make up a large chunk of primary voters but will lose the support of crucial swing votes in the general election.
		Yesterday, Dean told voters in Waterloo, "I think religion is important and spiritual values are very important, which is what this election is really about," before looping back to a regular line in his stump speech lamenting the loss of jobs in America.

	Philocrites: Dean's religion problem.
		Dean is notably not pursuing this particular part of the electorate.
		Dean is Protestant and his wife is Jewish, which probably makes religion a tricky topic even within his own home.
		Though I have supported Dean from the beginning for other reasons, his skepticism toward religion is very refreshing given America's embrace of spiritual superstition over the past 20 years.

	Commonweal - A review of religion, politics and culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		As the frontrunner, Dean has increasingly come in for vilification from his rivals, who are eager to question his “electibility,” casting this Yale-educated governor of a small, liberal Northeastern state as outside the American mainstream.
		Dean’s resolute secularism and tin ear for religion are likely to prove formidable obstacles in any attempt to broaden his appeal to those outside his party’s core constituencies, especially to Evangelical Christians and to Catholics.
		Dean has also been criticized for his dismissive attitude toward the moral concerns of Evangelicals and has come under intense scrutiny from prolife groups for his prochoice position and for serving on the Northern New England board of Planned Parenthood.

	The American Spectator
		Dean claimed that he didn't talk about his personal religious beliefs because his father -- a practicing Episcopalian -- didn't think a person's faith needed to be discussed.
		Dean, who admits to rarely attending religious services of any kind unless it is for electoral purposes, now claims to be a Congregationalist after a falling out with Episcopalians over the planned construction of a bike path near a church.
		Dean is now said by some associates to be boning up on religious matters through a series of talking points and several books from a reading list prepared by his staff.

	Nation-Building: 12/28/2003 - 01/03/2004
		There's no way Dean is going to make inroads with those voters for whom Pat Robertson's message about God's favoritism of Bush already resonates, and to whom his life-long political and social affinity for Judaism (and raising his children in that faith) are seen with suspicion rather than the frank admiration that they deserve.
		Dean's warning that his ardent supporters might not vote for a "conventional Washington politician" was a bit close to the line, but it appeared to be a careless rather than a vindictive remark.
		Dean's now famous remarks about the confederate flag were aimed squarely at Nixon's legacy - we need to re-unite the nation from the divisive racial politics that are still being used to sway voters into voting against their economic self-interest.

		Congressman Richard Gephardt says his religion is "to care about the poor first." Howard Dean, who in the past has criticized the mixing of religion and politics, now promises to talk about Jesus when he campaigns in the South.
		In the early 1980s, Dean became a Congregationalist because he objected to a local Episcopal diocese's reluctance to surrender its property for a scenic, nine-mile bike path.
		In November, for instance, Dean said at a luncheon in Tallahassee, Fla., that Southerners must quit basing their votes on "race, guns, God and gays." That may not square with new references to Jesus.

	Declaration Foundation: Restoring America
		After the primaries are over, Dean will be able to emphasize his commitment to fiscal discipline, his opposition to gun control, and even the hawkish streak in his foreign policy prior to 2002.
		(Dean was a rare Democratic supporter of the first Gulf war.) The problem is that, no matter how much he talks about these authentically centrist impulses, Dean will still have a hard time selling himself as a moderate.
		Dean himself is frank on this point, perhaps too frank.

	World Reformed Fellowship: Using My Religion - Howard Dean by EP
		Three days later, Dean was talking about religion again in an interview with the “Washington Post.” This time he was explaining how religion affected his policymaking decisions as governor of Vermont, where he signed a bill making homosexual unions legal in the state.
		Dean told the Post that his decision to sign the civil union bill was influenced by his Christian views.
		Novak notes that Dean’s recent “religious talk” may not only be working to turn off religious voters, who tend to be conservative, it may also be alienating members of his own party.

	Reason
		The other day, I was reading an interview with Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean in Newsweek when I had to stop and check that it was indeed Newsweek and not, say, Christianity Today.
		But in the past few weeks, Dean has been the target of something dangerously close to a religious witch-hunt—and that should concern all of us, whatever our party affiliation or our political, religious, and moral convictions.
		It is also interesting to note that, while America is indeed a religious country that wants its leaders to be religious, public sentiment about religion in politics is more mixed than we have often been led to believe.

		Earlier this year, when former Governor Howard Dean was still very much in the running for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, there was an insightful column in The Boston Globe by Cathy Young, one of the paper's two "conservative" columnists and a contributing editor at Reason magazine.
		Governor Dean had been asked, not by an evangelical Protestant paper or magazine, but by Newsweek no less whether he believed Jesus Christ to be "the son of God and...
		Young was astonished that Governor Dean would be asked such a personally intrusive question by so mainline a publication as Newsweek.

		Dean, a professor at the Department of Politiccal Science, Hobart-William Smith Colleges, ignited a firestorm with her seminal book 'Aliens In America' (New York: Cornell University Press, 1998).
		Crews and others were angry at Dean's postmodern realtivistic 'fictions'; her consensus with abductees that their experience was a genuine political force; that liberating humans from greed and dogma could be achieved through other methods than the humanistic skepticism promoted by organizations like CSICOP.
		An intriguing review of Jodi Dean's popular book, highlighting some facets worthy of discussion within the general conspiriology community: "Her persistent emphasis on the instability of reality has a paranoid tinge to it, particularly as she refuses to state whether she believes in abduction or not.

	Dean Gets Religion - CBS News
		In an interview just before Christmas, Howard Dean described his relationship with God as a "pretty personal one." Dean, who if nominated would be a stark secular contrast to his opponent President Bush, says because he is from New England, he usually does not talk about religion.
		Dean rarely talks about religion on the stump, yet in recent interviews, he has said he will probably do so more, especially in the south "where people are expected to talk more about religion." For a private man from the northeast, it takes some getting used to.
		Dean often rejects the notion of a campaign waged over "guns, God, and gays." He wants to attract voters in the Midwest and South by sticking to his main themes of jobs, health care, and education.

	The HooK: ESSAY- Ungodly politics: Dean bends to pressure
		But in the past few weeks, Dean has been the target of something dangerously close to a religious witch-hunt-- and that should concern all of us, whatever our party affiliation or our political, religious, and moral convictions.
		He has said that he doesn't go to church very often and that religion does not inform his views on public policy, and "when he discusses spirituality, it is generally divorced from any mention of God or church."
		The results have been rather pathetic to watch, since his new persona is so transparently an act dictated by political strategy (Dean has all but openly admitted this with his remarks about the need to appeal to religious sentiment when campaigning in the South).

		Dean's problem isn't just that he will bring GOP evangelicals to the polls but that he could also lose the evangelicals who have voted Democratic in recent elections.
		According to Kellstedt, these are voters Democrats often win with an economic agenda, but Dean might lose "on the basis of religious style points and strident rhetoric on [social issues]." And, in a close election, a few thousand votes squandered in Iowa and Illinois could ruin Dean.
		There are plenty of other reasons to not vote for Dean besides the fact that he had a tiff with a mainline Protestant denomination over a bike path.

	A wise Howard Dean will keep religion out of his politics
		As the governor of a lily-white New England state, Dean was morally obliged to bus minorities to Vermont for job interviews, according to Sharpton, whose own Harlem-based National Action Network is surely brimming with white staffers.
		Dean's gaffe about the location of the book of Job earlier this month is a prime example of why he should leave "religious talk" to those who can distinguish between the Old and New Testaments without checking with campaign aides.
		And while it's smart politics to try to narrow the "religion gap" between "pious" Republicans and the "secular humanist" Democrats, it shouldn't be at the expense of whatever dignity Dean has accrued as a card-carrying agnostic, if that's his natural orientation.

		"Dean was reared an Episcopalian, but left the church 25 years ago in a dispute with a local Vermont church over efforts to build a bike path." Certainly a profound reason to chuck one's faith.
