The new launch is an off-shoot of the Saint Andrews group that worked with Lance Davis in getting The Anglican Office Book published in the near past.
I think it is because St Andrews Almanor is a highly successful Anglican classical school over in California, so they are building on the huge established base of parents and families they already have
I looked closely at the website and this is all still quite tentative for only being 2 months from the beginning of the academic semester. One problem is that the only degree they are preparing to offer is liberal arts.
I live in the UK and am not sure what the problem, if any, would be in opening this college in California. Could you please explain?
California is our most liberal state and is or at least can be hostile to Christianity. Also is a very expensive place to live and buy property. A more favorable climate for a Christian college would be a place like Alabama, Texas, South Carolina or somewhere like that. Also California is prone to severe drought, power outages, and wildfires.
I’d put the New England states higher than California. California also has the second-highest number of churches in the country. If Christians in California had their own State, it would be the 3rd largest one in the Union. Or one could compare the State to those in the Unchurched Belt. In the most literal sense of the word “climate”, California is far more ideal than Texas, Alabama, or South Carolina. In terms of political and educational climate, California has a far better and more consistent track record hosting and facilitating institutions of higher learning than any State in the Southeast. California also regulates those entities better so that the potential for fraud is minimized. I think they made a good choice.
There regulations might be better but the reason but the rest about if Christians in California had their own state and the amount of churches is just due to how huge their population is. There are a lot of conservative republicans there but they never vote red and have no power. As for a better climate yeah the temps in most of the state might be better but those states I listed don[t get the wild fires, and extreme droughts.
