11 years and going strong, here. yeah, Talsek's point cracks me up.

here's a pdf that gives you the fundamentals of Calvinism:

This is actually a web site that calls Calvinism a cult, not a site about Calvinism. I think I would trust Wikipedia (sp?) before I would trust this site for straight up info on Calvinism. The thing Calvinism is most known for is its teachings on predestination and its perhaps extreme church discipline decisions based on that set of beliefs. Calvinism is not, however, considered a cult by most mainstream Christians.

For Dal's benefit, there really is nothing about Calvinism per se that would cause them to HAVE to do this, but the school policy is not out of sync with Christianity in general. Christians are told to come apart and be separate to some degree.
