Wheaton College Political science professor Larycia Hawkins was suspended from her post at the evangelical college last week after saying on Facebook that Christians and Muslims “worship the same God.”  The college administration has asked her to explain how her views accord with the college’s statement of faith. In this video from the PBS show “Chicago Tonight, Hawkins explains her views and why, during Advent, she is wearing a Muslim headscarf, although she is a Christian herself.
