DEAR BROTHER FAULL, (Concerning use of Summit’s name)

 

I have read that Platte Valley Bible College took the name of Summit Christian College.  I do not think you should allow that unless they are connected to you.  Why did they do it?

 

A Graduate of Summit Theological Seminary

 

ANSWER:

 

Dear Graduate,

 

There is no association between the schools, except in Christ.  I did not let them do it.  They just did it.  You will have to ask them “why?”  They have not answered any of the requests that I have sent them.  I have asked for an explanation from their board but there has been no response.

 

They know my conservative nature and that I am not going to take them to court over it.  I do not feel what they did was practicing the Golden Rule.  I’ve received some of their mail and mailed it to them. I have no idea if they would have the courtesy to do that for us or not.

 

This is not the first time it has happened to us.  The same name Summit Christian College was chosen by the old Fort Wayne Bible College in Ft. Wayne when we were there.  They are now called Taylor University.  Many of our schools thought Summit Theological Seminary was Summit Christian College and vise-versa and sent their students to us, or our students to them.  It was confusing. 

 

Our school has decided to just turn it over to the Lord.  We can handle it if He chooses for us to do so.  Christ is Master.  We are just the servants.  Besides, it won’t matter in eternity.
