NEWSPAPERS

Associated Press, “Romney Bid Was a Crucible for Mormons,” by Rachel Zoll, 2/9/08 (This has been picked up by more than 50 papers across the country.)
In this article, Richard J. Mouw, president of Fuller, discussed Mitt Romney’s failed presidential bid, and the often tense relationship between Mormons and Evangelical Christians. Mouw said some Christian conservatives consider Mormonism not just a questionable faith, but also a rival political force. Mouw discussed living in Michigan in the 1960s, when Romney's father, George, was governor. At that time, evangelicals weren't deeply involved in politics, and many supported George Romney.

"What's going on when his son runs and all of a sudden there's this overt hostility that came out, which did not come out toward his father," said Mouw, who is part of a group of evangelical and Mormon scholars who meet to discuss their theological disagreements. "I'm kind of ashamed of the way that a lot of traditional Christians have handled this."

Associated Press, “Evangelicals Say Faith Is Now Too Political,” by Rachel Zoll, 5/4/08 (This ran in more than 30 other media outlets across the United States.)
In the article, Richard J. Mouw is mentioned as one of 80 evangelical leaders who signed the Evangelical Manifesto. The declaration encourages Christians to be politically engaged and to uphold teachings such as traditional marriage. Further, the Manifesto states that evangelicals have often expressed "truth without love," helping create a backlash against religion during a "generation of culture warring."

Los Angeles Times, “Psalms Offer Source of Inspiration for Prayer,” by Connie Kang, 3/29/08
This article discussed worshipers turning to ancient Hebrew verses as a way to discover intimacy with God. John Goldingay, a professor of Old Testament at Fuller Seminary, said the Israelites preserved the Psalms because they resonated with them. The verses continue to resonate in the 21st century because they express the full range of a collective human experience, he said.

"Often people feel that before you approach God, you got to put your best suit on," said Goldingay. "The Psalms show when you come to God, you don't have to put your best suit on."

Los Angeles Times, “More in U.S. Jump to New Faiths, Poll Finds,” by Connie Kang, 2/26/08
Americans are switching religious affiliation in ever-greater numbers or abandoning ties to organized denominations altogether, according to a recent survey.

“The presumption of a Protestant framework for understanding the American character is now a thing of the past," said Richard J. Mouw. "We are an increasingly pluralistic society, and we Protestants now have to think much about how we can contribute to the common good as simply just one more voice in the American choir."

South Florida Sun-Sentinel, “Entertainment Theology,” by staff writers, 5/3/08
This article reviewed Fuller Adjunct Professor Barry Taylor’s new book Entertainment Theology. Taylor uses literature, film, television, theater, visual art and cyberspace to build a theological interpretation of life in the 21st century.

United Press International, “Religious Attendance Predicts Fidelity,” 4/10/08 (This ran in more than 30 publications across the country.)
Attendance at religious services predicts marital fidelity, according to School of Psychology Professor David Atkins in the May issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family.

"The study focuses the spotlight on religious service attendance with respect to this important aspect of marital life," said Atkins. "It opens the door for a host of questions about why attendance might have this special association."

MAGAZINES

The Magazine, “Religious Pillars of the Community,” by staff writers, 3/08
This Pasadena-based lifestyle magazine ran a series of articles on religion in the San Gabriel Valley that included a four page piece about the history of Fuller, its three schools, and its role in preparing men and women for a variety of ministries.

Christianity Today, “An Open-Handed Gospel,” by Richard J. Mouw, 4/1/08
In this article, Richard J. Mouw addresses the need for charity and civility in interacting with members of others faiths. “The obligation of nurturing a gentle and reverent spirit toward those with whom we disagree takes on a new urgency for us today in engaging those who represent non-Christian religions and lifestyles. How do we convey our Christian convictions while displaying a spirit of generosity in our relationships with others?” said Mouw.

Christianity Today, “Friends, Faith, and a Feud,” by staff writers, 3/18/08
This article reviews Purple State of Mind, the new film by Craig Detweiler, director of Fuller’s Reel Spirituality Institute. The film is an 80-minute effort to bridge the cultural gap, to push past politics, and wade into the middle ground where most people live--into the homes, dorm rooms, churches, offices and playing fields where people are struggling to have their own conversations.

The Conservative Voice, “Muslims Turn to Christ,” by Grant Swank, 4/29/08
Dr. Dudley Woodberry, professor of Islamic Studies at Fuller, states that Muslims are coming to recognize Christ because Christians befriending them have shown them a better way than Islam. Woodberry cautions Christians from staying aloof from Muslims. In fact, he asks his Christian friends how recently they invited a Muslim family to dinner. Woodberry has made a study by which he has found that Muslims are impressed by the courtesies shown them by Christians in contrast to the rudeness shown them by non-Christians.

Christian Examiner, “Oprah’s Gospel,” by Steve Rabey, 5/1/08
One of the most controversial aspects of Oprah’s cultural influence derives from the emphasis she places on religion and spirituality. In 2002, Christianity Today declared Oprah “has become one of the most influential spiritual leaders in America.” “Oprah's theology is broad, eclectic and (almost too) generous,” said Fuller’s Craig Detweiler.
“Her followers can receive her free therapeutic, booster shots five days a week. But she also backs her claims with genuine benevolence. That is a significant spiritual influence that churches must take seriously.”

CNN, “Selling Religion with Sex,” 3/30/07
Kurt Fredrickson, director of Fuller’s Doctor of Ministry Program, was quoted in this program about the growing number of evangelical churches who are having Sunday morning series about sex. One church in particular has been using roadside billboards to advertise its series. “My issue was that the billboard had this sense of luridness and deception. They're trying to draw people someplace, and when they got drawn to a church, I think people would feel cheated or duped,” said Fredrickson.

NBC Today Show, “Sex and Religion,” 2/20/07
Ryan Bolger, professor of church in contemporary culture, was quoted about the increasing number of churches discussing sex in their services.

NEWSPAPERS

Associated Press, “Jesus as Sports Fan Chips Away at Savior,” by John Marshall, 4/13/07
This article discussed how golfer Zach Johnson, in his interview after winning the Masters tournament, talked about his faith and gave credit to Jesus. "I would give Zach the credit to say that's what he meant," said Chap Clark, professor of youth, family, and culture at Fuller. "People of faith often give credit to God for helping them overcome everything from fear to nerves to insecurity. To do what no other golfer has done in a major facing Tiger Woods on his neck was a great example of this reliance on faith."

Associated Press, “Once Weary of High Art, Evangelicals Seek Greater Role as Creators of Culture,” by Eric Gorski, 7/28/07
This article addressed the increasing attention being given to the relationship between faith and the arts. Craig Detweiler, co-director of Fuller’s Reel Spirituality Institute, said students are fascinated with finding the sacred in the mundane and exploring life's mysteries. "Maybe 20 years ago, young filmmakers wanted to tell stories for their own audience," said Detweiler, a screenwriter. "Today's young filmmakers ... find holy moments within mainstream movies and want to create more of the same.” He continued: "For too long, Christian art has implied pale imitation. We're trying to get back to the days of the Renaissance, where the church was the patron of the finest art."

Associated Press, “Theology and Doctrine the Root of Mormon-Evangelical Divide,” by Jennifer Dobner, 12/5/07
This article discussed the theological differences between Mormons and evangelicals as Mitt Romney seeks to increase evangelical support for his presidential campaign. "Christians and Jews have always held that there is a great gap between creator and creature. God is God and we're not," said Fuller President Richard J. Mouw. "Mormons believe that God and humans are of the same species. In our eyes they have tried to bridge that gap in ways that really is a fundamental violation."

New York Times, “A Mormon’s Ultimate Doorbell,” by Laurie Goodstein, 12/9/07
In this article, Laurie Goodstein addressed the influence of Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith on his presidential aspirations. “There will always be a segment of evangelical Christianity that doesn’t trust anything Mormons say,” said Richard J. Mouw. “They don’t even trust it when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings ‘Silent Night.’” Mouw said the hostility to Mormonism is so enduring because there is a “history of nastiness” between the sides that stretches back to Smith’s declaration that the Christian concept of the Trinity was a great apostasy.

Los Angeles Times, “Left Behind? Not This Book Series,” by Connie Kang, 4/3/07
This article discussed the April release of Kingdom Come, the 16th and last novel in the hugely successful Left Behind book series. The article said the timing of the series was perfect, appearing as the world was gearing up for the end of the millennium in 2000. "We all wonder what it all means and where it's all heading," said Craig Detweiler, co-director of Fuller’s Reel Spirituality Institute. "So, anyone who is willing to step into that fray and say, 'I have a theory, I have a possibility…' has a built-in fascination." As millennial anxiety grew, Detweiler said, "the speculative fiction satisfied a felt need."

Los Angeles Times, “The Lord’s Prayer Unites a Diverse Christianity,” by Connie Kang, 4/7/07
On Easter Sunday, when two billion Christians around the world celebrated the resurrection of Jesus, many read, recited, and sang the Lord's Prayer in hundreds of languages in houses of worship both modest and grand, said this article. "There is a sense of solidarity in knowing that Christians around the globe are praying together the prayer that was taught us by Christ himself," said Clayton Schmit, professor of preaching at Fuller. "Even when Protestants and Catholics worship together, though much divides us theologically, these words always unite us."

Los Angeles Times, “Doctors Say Spiritual Beliefs Help Patients,” by Angie Green, 4/21/07
A nationwide study released in April found that 85% of 1,144 physicians surveyed believe that religion and spirituality have a positive influence on a patient's health. Alexis D. Abernethy, associate professor of psychology in Fuller’s School of Psychology, commented in this article that negative emotions can be caused by a religious community that judges a person's illness. "Support is not always positive," said Abernethy, who researches areas such as spirituality and health at Fuller. "There are certain diseases that have a little bit…more stigma attached to them," she said, citing HIV-AIDS and certain types of cancers. Patients also can feel guilt or anxiety if they believe their condition is their fault or a punishment from a higher being, Abernethy said.

Los Angeles Times, “Selling the Good Book by Its Cover,” by Stephanie Simon, 12/25/07
This article highlighted the growing amount of new Bible translations available in the United States.
Kurt Fredrickson, director of Fuller’s Doctor of Ministry Program, sees modern publishers as, in a way, following the hallowed footsteps of Christian heroes such as Jan Hus, William Tyndale, and Martin Luther, who risked their lives to bring God's word to the masses. "For centuries, there's been a desire to make the Bible more accessible," said Fredrickson.

Los Angeles Times, “A Christmas Story of the Incarnation,” by Connie Kang, 12/22/07
In this article, Connie Kang focused on the Christmas story of the incarnation. Clayton Schmit, a Lutheran minister and professor of preaching at Fuller, said Christmas is about celebrating God's grace that came "in this unexpected contrary form—the most powerful essence of the universe is reduced to the weakest possible human being—the newborn infant." Robert K. Johnston, professor of theology and culture at Fuller, said Christianity has repeated the pattern of the original Incarnation, "seeking to enflesh the divine" in current and contemporary form.

Arizona Republic, “Pewless Pastors: Seminary Graduates Find New Paths of Ministry Beyond Church,” by Sadie Jo Smokey, 4/14/07
Many seminary graduates now seek employment not in a sanctuary, but in a range of workplaces, claimed this article. Today’s range of career choices, from football team chaplain to professor, wasn't common for seminary graduates even 20 years ago. "I'm having a lot of conversations with students who don't know what their career path is going to be," said Fuller’s Kurt Fredrickson. "When I graduated in 1979, I knew I was going to end up in a church."

Austin Statesman, “Austin’s ‘Emergent’ Christians Finding a New Path,” 8/12/07
This article addressed the movement of thousands of young Christians around the country and abroad who are re-examining what it means to follow Jesus: changing not only how they worship, but also how they live—adopting, for example, lifestyles that are simpler and more “downwardly mobile.” Fuller professor Eddie Gibbs was quoted as saying, "I think it is a return to a more radical Gospel." Young people, he said, see limitations in the institutional church, which has been vulnerable to corruption and has at times prized money and power. This movement is a "reaction against the consumerism of their parents."

Pasadena Star News, “Neighbors Object to Developer’s Record,” 8/6/07
This article addressed the purchase and planned move by developer Fil Salcedo of the Herkimer Arms apartment building from the Fuller Seminary campus.
Howard Wilson, Fuller's vice president of administration services, said that Salcedo was a qualified buyer, approved by the city, and was chosen because he had suitable land and the "financial capacity" to complete the project.

Pasadena Star News, “Historic Apartment House is Saved,” 8/14/07
In a move hailed by preservationists, this article stated, the 1927 Evelyn Boadway apartments on the campus of Fuller was bought by Antreas Hindoyan, whose family has owned Burger Continental on South Lake Avenue since 1969. He purchased the apartments from Fuller for $10. "I'm thrilled, I think it's a brilliant solution," Sue Mossman, executive director of Pasadena Heritage, said.

MAGAZINES

Newsweek, “Unmasking Male Depression,” by Julie Scelfo, 2/26/07
Six million American men will be diagnosed with depression this year, this article reported. But millions more suffer silently, unaware that their problem has a name or unwilling to seek treatment, commented Archibald Hart, senior professor and dean emeritus in Fuller’s School of Psychology.

Christianity Today, “Evel Overcome with Good,” by Brad Greenberg, 4/13/07
This article reported that on Palm Sunday, hundreds responded to Robert "Evel" Knievel's spontaneous testimony at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, by asking to be baptized on the spot. "I don't want to make grandiose claims; I'm not a prophet," said Richard J. Mouw, president of Fuller, who spoke with Rev. Robert H. Schuller the next morning. "But I think it is a sign that in God's own sovereign goodness, he sends these moments to remind us that we are all sinners and reaches out to us in surprising ways. This is something the Christian community in general, and particularly the evangelical community, needs to take very seriously."

Christianity Today, “Muscular Christianity or Fluid Theology,” by Barry Taylor, 4/10/07
In this excerpt from his book Emergent Manifesto (Baker, 2007), Barry Taylor, adjunct professor of theology and culture in Fuller’s School of Theology, suggests that as our culture abandons any sense of certainty, we should consider a less dogmatic and “muscular” view of our faith in favor of one that is comfortable in the ever-shifting currents of our world.

Christian Post, “No More Splashing Around in Shallow Ministry,” by Nathan Black, 4/10/07
For many youth workers, this article said, countless hours of work and dedication are not resulting in the transformation they hope for in students' lives. Kara Powell, executive director of Fuller’s Center for Youth and Family Ministry, worked in youth ministry for 19 years and, she said, eventually came to a "scary" realization: "Here I had given countless hours to something I believed in...and was passionate about it. And while, of course, God was changing students' lives, it wasn't the type of transformation that I was hoping for and I think I had been clinging to the verse in the Scripture that God's Word will not return void." In the end, Powell hopes youth workers will work "smarter," not harder. "I would rather do one hour of work that is more strategic than three hours of work when I'm splashing around in the shallow end."

Christianity Today, “Costly Commitment,” by Sarah Pulliam, 8/13/07
This piece talked about the growing criticism leveled at South Korea's missions movement after a group of 23 church volunteers were abducted in Afghanistan. Many Korean Christians are divided on how the situation should have been handled, said Timothy Kiho Park, director of Korean Studies at Fuller. Some Christians question the value of dangerous short-term missions; others say that Christians will always face opposition. "This situation will prompt churches to re-evaluate their missionary methods with the imminent dangers in mind," Park said. "The Afghanistan incident may halt Korean short-term missions in Afghanistan for a while, but will not stop the missionary movement of the Korean church."

The Christian Century, “Ecumenism’s New Basis: Testimony,” by John Dart, 8/21/07
After keeping a low profile for several years, this article described, advocates of a fresh approach to ecumenism are going public about a promising international gathering in Kenya this November. About 240 leaders from the Vatican, World Evangelical Alliance, Orthodox churches, historic Protestant and Anglican communions, and Pentecostal and independent churches will gather outside Nairobi.

Most of the participants describe their faith and understanding in personal terms. "We prefer first names, and not using titles," said Cecil Robeck, professor of church history and ecumenics at Fuller. "That's the thing that breaks down the walls; you find people who had no idea others thought the same way. After that, they're hooked."

The Christian Century, “Romney’s Speech on Faith May Reassure Some, Trouble Others,” by John Dart, 12/18/07
This article discussed reactions to Mitt Romney’s December speech about his Mormon faith. Richard J. Mouw said Romney's speech "more than overcame my concerns" as an evangelical. Romney quoted Jesus' call to compassion: "I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me." In response, Mouw said his own prayer will be that the "call to welcome 'the stranger' will now begin to show up in Romney's statements about undocumented immigrants."

Christian Post, “Dawkin’s Call to Atheists Is a Christian Wake-Up Call,” 8/11/07
Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, stated this article, is calling on all his fellow atheists to “come out of the closet” and let their voices be heard. The Associated Press this year described the all-out assault on religious faith by atheist authors like Christopher Hitchens, who are reaching the top of the best-seller list, as “a sign of widespread resentment over the influence of religion in the world among nonbelievers.”
The success of these books, said Fuller President Richard J. Mouw, reflects a new vehemence in the atheist critique. "I don't believe in conspiracy theories," Mouw said, according to AP, "but it's almost like they all had a meeting and said, 'Let's counterattack.'"
