Comment on Defining Adventism: A poll by David.
I think that you phrase the poll question well. The key is “openly” reject. I should expect that many people, whether professors or not, might struggle with various aspects of our faith. To the extent they have personal struggles, however, as long as they are on the payroll of the Adventist church, they must not openly teach in opposition its beliefs. If their personal struggles exceed their capacity to teach in alignment with church beliefs, they ought to resign and find a different career.
This isn’t lack of tolerance. It’s common sense.
