Campus founded by Moody is being given away—to the right buyer

Jerry Pattengale's cell phone won't stop ringing as he leads a
secretive group of college administrators on a tour of a majestic
Massachu­setts campus built in 1879 by legendary evangelist D. L. Moody.

Calls
and visitors are pouring in for one reason: the billionaire Oklahoma
family that owns the 217-acre site and its 43 buildings aims to give it
away to a Christian institution.

"That was a national organization
in Colorado that just called," said Patten­gale, a college
administrator who's been hired to help find a new owner for the
property. "They want to come and see."
