The redirect to this page from "Southern Methodist Church" needs to be eliminated. As noted in the article, there is an ongoing Suthern Methodist Church which dissented from the 1939 merger and considers itself to be the ongoing successor to this body. Rlquall 01:57, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

While Duke Divinity School is not a conservative school (in a modern sense) it is not a "progressive" school, particularly in a classical sense. Its narrative theology has a history of going against protestant liberalism and progressive theology. It is really quite orthodox in most of its teaching. I think the last sentence needs to become less subjective.
