My first full-time position, a leave replacement, was at a Dominican college in the Northeastern U.S. The students were, as a whole considerably more progressive than the faculty. Where I am now, in the Midwest, the reverse is true. We have five full-time sociologists. Almost all of us are Marxists or neo-Marxists, while the students tend to be quite conservative and traditional.

However, I belong to the major interfaith organization in the Kansas City area. As one might expect, most of the active members are progressive. A few are radical. It has turned out to be a superb opportunity to find "common cause" with a number of local religious leaders.
