New ICF Website Objective: Students Transformed, Campuses Renewed
AgapePress reports the evangelical campus ministry InterVarsity Christian Fellowship has announced a new website geared for university and college students -- both Christians and those who "have an interest in spiritual life."
The objective behind http://www.StudentSoul.org parallels that of InterVarsity itself: "to see students and faculty transformed, campuses renewed, and world changers developed."
Project manager Jon Boyd says, "Students will be able to participate in several ways. They'll be able to contribute questions for interviews, submit issues they need help with, and comment on articles and stories."
The website also offers advice on typical questions college-age Christians might consider. For example, the "Good Question" tab on the website offers answers to questions such as "Does God care what I major in?" and "How can I balance my studies with everything else I want to do?" The director of InterVarsity's campus web ministry referred to this online ministry as, "as real as InterVarsity's other field ministries."
Ruling Favors Christian Students' Discrimination Claim Against UC
AgapePress reports a federal judge has rejected the University of California's motion to dismiss a lawsuit that accuses it of viewpoint discrimination against Christian students.
Calvary Chapel Christian School in Murrieta filed suit last summer against the UC system, claiming it prohibits high school students from receiving academic credit for courses taught from a Christian perspective.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, California, after six Calvary Chapel Christian School students claimed their religious views had hurt their chances of being accepted to a UC campus.
Joining Calvary as a co-plaintiff is the Association of Christian Schools International, which represents 800 religious schools nationwide.
The claimants' lawsuit accuses the UC system of violating Christian students' rights by rejecting private Christian school courses such as Calvary's "Christianity's Influence on American History" and "Christianity and Morality in American Literature" as too narrow, meanwhile giving credit for other schools' curriculum offerings, including courses like "Jewish History" and "Ethnic Experience in Literature."
