Can a Christian Club be Christian?

From the How Appealing blog:

"Kent school Bible club dispute becomes a federal case;

Court fight centers on 'Christians only' membership limit": Yesterday's edition of The Seattle Post-Intelligencer contained an article that begins, "It seemed a simple idea: two high school girls who wanted to start a Bible club at Kentridge High School. But the once-quiet grumbling over their Christians-only membership plan has now erupted into a full-scale federal case. On Thursday, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, meeting in Seattle, sat rapt as lawyers argued on the one hand for religious freedom and, on the other, against allowing discrimination in a public school district."
The
Ninth Circuit has posted online the oral argument audio at this link (Windows Media format).Posted at 02:35 PM by Howard Bashman

If our schedule permits, we may listen to this oral argument in class--RFD
