Ongoing Wave of Christ-like Love 2
The Arizona Summer Wildcat (a student paper) talks about new rules about proselytizing on campus.
“The University Religious Council is reminding students that “no” should be enough, and has identified lines that religious organizations shouldn’t cross when proselytizing on campus. URC secretary Randi Kiesel, said last year certain groups went too far in their recruitment efforts, generating complaints in the offices of the president, the dean of students, and with the university religious council.”
Violations of the new protocals include failing to identify the group’s identity or intentions, making persistent unwanted phone calls or visits and trying to pry personal information out of you.
As someone who actually lives in a college town I can tell you that the campus Christians pretty much use every resource at their disposal including the deep pockets of their sponsors to snare more sheep for the flock. Most of it is merely annoying but some of it truly does enter into abusive territory. To the “youth leaders” the ends sadly justify their means.
No doubt certain Christians will see this as a suppression of their rights, while many freaks, geeks and outcasts can perhaps breath a sigh of relief and not have to worry about their “Christian buddy” calling them to invite them to a special “party”.
