"Seeking the Shalom of the University: Beyond Culture War to Culture Care."

For the past decade, debates have raged at universities across the U.S. about the relationship between religious freedom and anti-discrimination policies, especially around human sexuality. Christian groups on campus have been pressured to change their bylaws, and, in some cases, de-recognized as student organizations. In this aggressively secular environment, how should a Christian engage with the university? Are the only options to assimilate, withdraw, or become a right-wing culture warrior? Come hear a biblical case for taking a different posture toward the university, one that doesn't sacrifice beliefs for access, but doesn't sacrifice love for the politics of hate either. Whether you're a student at university or just work and live in secular culture, this will be relevant to you.
