GLBTs, Christians and the College Campus

If you’re a regular reader of this blog you probably know that I serve on a Christian university campus.

While our university, over its’ short history, has had its ups and downs in trying to be faithfully Christian, it has also made significant strides over the past decade towards better living out its Christian mission and identity… and a big part of that has come through the intentional choice to focus on Christ, and that which unites us, above all else.

But this has also led to some challenges.

One of those challenges comes in the area of GLBTs on campus. The traditional and historical view held by the Church is that the GLBT lifestyle is not one that is deemed appropriate or acceptable by God.

The Contemplative Activist

I don’t imagine it’s a new term to all of you, or even many of you, but I honestly don’t remember hearing this descriptor before this week:

Contemplative Activist

Have you heard this phrase used before?

Used to describe someone who is BOTH spiritually in-tune with God AND committed to doing something about what they see going on in the world?
