Carl Trueman writes - “Several friends contacted me over the weekend with news that Wesleyan University has taken the ever-expanding list of initials used to refer to sexual identities to new heights of absurdity or sensitivity, depending on one’s perspective. We are now apparently up to fifteen letters: LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM.”

And in other news from the small liberal arts college, three students hospitalized for overdoses. I think if John Wesley could speak for himself at this point, he just might ask them to change their name along the lines of the apocryphal (probably false) story about Alexander the Great asking a soldier named Alexander to change his name.

That said, a quick Google search reveals that Wesleyan retained their denominational affiliation for about three or four decades after Carnegie was buying colleges off to get them to renounce that affiliation, so they had that going for them. The disambiguation page for Wesleyan-named schools shows most of them retain some form of Methodist affiliation. So it had a little more staying power than for a lot of other church affiliated schools.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
