Another interview

You may want to add a link to this Frank Schaeffer interview by Jerome McDonnell of Chicago Public Radio.

And here's another interview on his book "Patience with God".

Editing Without Discussion

I see in the History page that we have gone back and forth a bit in deleting and then adding back in information for this entry. Thank you to those who put the information back and improved upon it. For those who deleted, let's follow wiki guidelines and discuss first. Thank you very much for your consideration in this matter :-) --Awinger48 21:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Names

When Francis Schaeffer was still alive, his son was known as the author Franky Schaeffer and his production company was Franky Schaeffer V." Now he is just known as Frank Schaeffer, period. There is no need to refer to him at the top of the article as Francis A. Schaeffer V. Then you would need to refer to his father as Francis A. Schaeffer IV. Can't we just have his name as he is known now, which is Frank Schaeffer? That's why I'm changing the lead paragraph, to reflect that. If anyone disagrees, let's discuss - okay :-) --Awinger48 22:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever Happened to the Human Race? Film Subject Matter

This is being reverted back to what was originally written. If a change is needed, then let's discuss it. Thank you :-) --Awinger48 22:24, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Crazy for God

The expression "Crazy for God" was coined by Sun Myung Moon. "We leaders should leave the tradition that we have become crazy for God." - The Way of God's Will, chapter 3 Leaders. I just thought I would mention that although I don't see how it could be worked into the article. Happy holidays to all. Steve Dufour (talk) 15:44, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This really has nothing to do with Frank Schaeffer's book, and I know, because I've read Moon in context, and I've read F.S.'s book for context. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.103.122 (talk) 07:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Frank's Father's words

The section where Frank talks about how his Father's words got him invited to dine with Presidents could use a bit of elucidation. I'd like to see at least a reference to his Father's actual words, in context, added to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MiguelMunoz (talkcontribs) 02:28, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see some elaboration on that, too. I think Frank made that up.67.237.189.239 (talk) 15:05, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did some research on this question. See my comment at the bottom.67.237.189.239 (talk) 19:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Antiochian Orthodox

Not sure how this kind of thing works. I didn't want to just edit the page, but it is 14 years out of date though it appears it was updated in 2006. The statement "Rather than unite these congregations with the ethnically rooted Syrian-Americans, they became part of the Antiochian Evangelical Orthodox Church" is no longer accurate. As of 1995 the two groups have been fully united, and also there was never a separate Antiochian Evangelical Orthodox Church. It was entitled the Antiochian Evangelical Orthodox Mission during the interim period of its reception into the Antiochian Orthodox Church and its full integration. This link is appropriate on these issues http://www.ogreatmystery.com/eoc/ and the information is summarized in another wikipedia article here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelical_Orthodox_Church . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.236.68.227 (talk) 03:51, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[[Kosovan_people#Religion|Muslim Kosovar]]

Seems a stretch, almost an easter egg. Comment by a rational editor? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:23, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Violent overthrow"? Come now!

Where did Francis Schaeffer EVER call for the "violent overthrow" of the U.S. government? I've read several of his books, and he never advocated any such thing. If there's no documentation for such a claim other than Frank's words, then this section should be deleted or at least re-worded.67.237.189.239 (talk) 15:04, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
