S T I L L E X I S T S S o m e w e e k s a g o there appeared in the secular press a news item to the effect that the President o f San Francisco Theological Semi nary had been granted a leave o f absence " fo r health reasons.” It may be recalled that he has been a frequent storm center in theological circles because o f his unorthodox views concerning certain tenets o f our Christian faith, his advocacy o f homosexual practices and his recommendation o f pornographic literature. His position on the last two subjects was revealed in a publication entitled The Challenge, in the spring o f 1965, put out by the stu dents o f the theological seminary which he heads. This publication has been referred to in previous editorials o f The King's Business (August and October, 1965). The Challenge magazine was brought to the attention o f the Standing Committee on Theological Seminaries at the 1965 meet ing o f the General Assembly o f the United Presbyterian Church o f America. At that time the matter was treated lightly, dis missed with the comment that it was unfortunate such a docu ment had appeared. The Seminary and the President o f the Semi nary were completely white-washed with but a mild slap on the wrist. It was presumed the matter was closed; apparently the mat ter was not closed! Now the President has been given a leave o f absence, " fo r health reasons.” Rumors are floating about to the effect that he will never be put back into that significant position again, that his leave o f absence will become permanent. Appar ently also it is presumed that by his removal from office all will be at peace and rest within the Seminary and, indeed, within the Presbyterian Church. The tragic part o f it all is that the situation is not in the least resolved.
