(RNS) — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush may be seeing the bold exclamation point wilt in his Jeb! posters.
Like his Republican brethren, Catholic convert Jeb Bush, who turns 63 on Feb. 11, 2016, is chasing the conservative Christian vote in the primaries. But unlike evangelical Sen. senator Ted Cruz, fellow Catholic Sen. Marco Rubio or nominally religious mainline Protestant Donald Trump, Bush is making no connection with the faith crowd. Or any crowd: His poll numbers were mired near the bottom all winter.
Wheaton College professor Larycia Hawkins, who faced termination from her tenured post at the evangelical school for publicly saying Christians and Muslims worship the "same God," has announced in a joint statement with the college that she will leave.
The statement on Wheaton's website referred to a "confidential agreement under which they will part ways."
