“Valuing of the Intellect”
"It is well to note positively that campus ministries exist at all, that someone, somewhere, wanted to provide spiritual service to students at secular universities, rather than abandoning them as compromisers or apostates who should have gone to Bible school instead."
These are some of the opening words of a paper that Dr. John G. Stackhouse (Professor of Theology and Culture, Regent College) delivered at a conference in Toronto in 2007.
I was at that conference and I must say that I was challenged by Stackhouse's insightful thoughts about what campus ministry on the secular university campus should look like. I encourage you to read Stackhouse's full paper. It can be found at:
