Let me clarify. I'm obviously...Yeah, fair enough. Let me clarify. I'm obviously assuming a lot about why they're rejecting the offer. Maybe they just don't want to do it because they don't think they could properly represent themselves in 4 minutes. And I know the leaders of IV here, and they are pretty cool people. There are groups with much worse tactics and reputations. So I didn't mean to single out IV. There are 50 Christian groups on campus (why, oh why, can't we have unity??), and the majority are of the "notch in the Bible" ilk. At least, that is what my students tell me. But IV is more into Bible study, I know, and they are less offensive in their proselytizing (I"m sure my Hindu student wouldn't have approached them if they were scary).<BR/>So again, didn't mean to pick on IV in particular, just a general type of campus ministry that doesn't put discipleship first. And it's not just campus ministries - it's most of Evangelical Christianity. So people are only modeling what they've been taught.Stasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864458542635159512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1129841913654636742005-10-20T13:58:00.000-07:002005-10-20T13:58:00.000-07:00Not all InterVarsity chapters are like that.

InterVarsity is a very diverse organization, due to its philosophy of student-driven, not staff-driven, leadership. <BR/><BR/>I'm curious as to which campus this is on, because I've only heard good things about greater LA IV chapters, especially in terms of what they are doing about racial reconciliation - in the <I>here and now</I> sense, not in the "when we all get to heaven everything will be wonderful sense..."<BR/><BR/>-former IV staffEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446735505101812586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1129515424813740452005-10-16T19:17:00.000-07:002005-10-16T19:17:00.000-07:00Last year on our campus, Campus Crusade (Just yest...Last year on our campus, Campus Crusade (Just yesterday I want thinking on how horrible that name is, really) invoked a controversial publicity "Do you agree with Byron?" campaign. That was not the best idea. <BR/>The multifaith celebration sounds like a great idea! I wish we did that here. That's really too bad that they don't want to be enriched. Its like its their way or well, you're going straight to hell.
