NOTES AND QUERIES:
 * "Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas, Baylor University is the oldest university in Texas and the world's largest Baptist University. Baylor's mission is to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service by integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring community. Baylor is actively recruiting new faculty with a strong commitment to the classroom and an equally strong commitment to discovering new knowledge as Baylor aspires to become a top tier research university all while retaining and remaining grounded in our strong Christian mission as described in Baylor 2012."
 * I just want to let everyone know that this job was posted last year. When I applied I got a letter from the department saying that my application would be considered once I filled out an attached form. I threw the form out, but I remember the first question being something like: "Describe your interests and activities outside of your teaching and research." Another question asked the applicant to "Describe their church affiliation," and another asked something like: "Describe your history with this church and current activities and involvement in this church."
