A Free Chautauqua

This is an institution that:

• Respects and honors the Bible-based Christian tradition that inspired the Institution’s founding.
• Welcomes all individuals and denominations that can live harmoniously within or alongside that tradition.
• Encourages a genuine diversity of opinion on the social and political issues of the day.
• Designs its programming and its faith-based activities to reflect that diversity.
• Discourages the use of ad hominems-racist, bigot, nativist, Islamophobe, extremist-in the course of political argumentation.
• Forswears censorship and intimidation as means of advancing a narrow political agenda.
• Promotes cultural activities that appeal to a wide spectrum of its population.
• Creates a welcoming environment for people of all races, classes, and political persuasions.
• Makes significant decisions only after consulting Chautauquans.

A Free Chautauqua will mean a more open, more inclusive, more diverse, more entertaining, more harmonious, and more faithful Institution than the spiritually adrift Chautauqua we endure as of today.

Yes, Iran for Week Six, Of Course!

If Week Six were an anomaly, we would not be concerned. Unfortunately, it represents a forced trend away from Chautauqua’s roots and towards an empty multiculturalism that consciously alienates many of the Institution’s Christian and Jewish visitors. More...
