Amherst College has a Muslim chaplain, a Buddhist chaplain, and a Hindu chaplain. Now, after the school hosted a bizarre sexual ceremony in the college’s main chapel, it is looking for a Christian one, too.

A job posting on ChristianUniversityJobs.com says that Amherst is seeking a part-time Christian chaplain who will "advance equity, belonging, and interreligious understanding."

In retrospect, that decision, along with the rest of President Reagan's military buildup, did hasten the eventual defeat of the Soviet Union in what was the greatest U.S. strategic achievement—and advance of freedom—since the victory in World War II.
