Davis was the director of the institute, the chairman of the church-state
studies department and editor of the Journal of Church and State.
"The time between Dr. Davis' resignation and my appointment was a difficult
time for all the students. Many people were worried about it, but I think
now they are happy with the result and feel that things will continue on,"
Marsh said.
Davis announced his resignation before spring break, and the appointments
were made Wednesday.
"Dr. Marsh is a very good man, and I see him doing great things for church
state studies, "El Paso sophomore Paul Ryan Godfrey said. "We're sad to see
Dr. Davis go. He was a great part of the church state studies community.
It's going to be sad seeing him leave."

It has also played a significant role in helping me to expose the
plethora of radical Christian propaganda and lies that we find at
almost every media turn.
