Crusade doesn't 'save'
They're evangelists but not saviors, an organization without members, and enthusiastic while rejecting emotion.
They're young people in the Campus Crusade for Christ . . . and the contradictions are only superficial, they say.
Dave Field, director of Campus Crusade for Christ at KU, says 'Many people think we're trying to 'convert' or 'save' . . . not so. The 'Crusade' just tries to show how religion can fulfill young people's lives through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
"WE DON'T TELL students to stop smoking, drinking, chewing, or going with girls that do," Field says.
Campus Crusaders, as their name indicates, promote Christ, "Christ wasn't just a man with long hair." Field says, "but was intelligent, powerful, and had personal characteristics attractive to anybody.
"But becoming a Christian and coming to know Christ isn't an emotional thing with us," Field says. "It's just a realization.
"THE CRUSADE IS a student leadership movement specifically designed to show today's student how Christianity can be effective
in their lives on an individual basis." Field says.
Although KU's Campus Crusade for Christ officially is registered with the University as an organization and maintains a student president, students can't join the Crusade in the conventional manner.
"We're not on campus as an organization searching members nor do we get together to share precious verses," says Carl Dennison, state director for the Crusade.
THROUGH WEEKLY College Life meetings held in fraternity or sorority houses, the four full-time paid staff members of the "Crusade" seek out and inform the "unchurched."
who've rejected religion and have no active affiliation with other religious groups," Dennison says.
"Since many college students don't or can't attend church, we're filling a void as an evangelistic arm of the church." Field says.
With movements on all but two of the state's colleges and universities, activities in about 40 countries, and over 800 staff members, Campus Crusade for Christ remains financially secure through contributions from businessmen.
Soccer set-up
