As for jobs at Christian universities, some are more hard core than others.
Yes. As someone who works at a university that shall remain nameless here, I did have to promise to uphold the mission of the school, but they are an equal opportunity employer. But that only means they'll hire me - they can still fire me if I don't uphold the mission of the school. Which means that I can't work here and be president of planned parenthood.
I also had to take a loyalty oath when I went to work for the U. of California to work there.
Yay, kicks!
Yay, Sean & Date Girl and meteor showers!
Faculty there have to agree to uphold the Christian mission of the college, and they ask job applicants their religion and how involved they are in their church and take that into consideration when making hiring decisions.
That's a lot more stringent and defined than the Jesuit college where I taught. They asked for my religion ("sarcastic") and how I planned to bring God into the classroom (er, Deus ex Machina was all I had) but didn't fret about the responses. And kept renewing me. A hiring ratio/tree based on religion is le creepy.
Hooray Baby Kicks!
Trader Joes' veggie food is the yum. Our 'oh crap, what to cook' shelf has all the boxed Indian stuff. And the pesto pizza. omnom. Someone got me hooked on pomegranate seeds, so we go there a lot, as pomegranates aren't a PA staple food.
Dylan is a cutiehead.
Yay for first kicks! That is definitely making me smile.
Definite yay on first kicks.
I also hope Sean gets many more moments he wants to live in.
"Oh, yeah, I'm a Wiseass. Reformed. But only partially."
(well, I think it's the only spiritual path I've managed to stick to. Either that, or Populist. I've learned a lot about other ones, and liked some of all of them, but I don't think of them as Mine, though I kind of wanted to...part of me really wants a conversion experience.Not the scary Yusuf Islam kind) but I'm afraid I shot my wad with The Wire and Entourage
Baylor hospital is one of the better ones in Dallas. On the one hand when Jon and I were roomates/sorta dating, they wouldn't let us share a room when we both got food poisoning.
On the other hand, when I had a miscarriage back in April, I could not have been more pleased with the way I was treated by the staff.
They have a major disability research center too.

Heh. Jesuits are...not like other Catholic orders.

so, like if Calfornia seceded from the Union, you'd have to fight on their side?
