The North Carolina Baptist Convention announced that they will eliminate their Baptist Collegiate Ministry positions and sell their campus centers. They will have three regional positions that are to work with and encourage churches in doing College Ministry. They will retain two people who have been doing International student ministry. This is part of their re-structuring of their Baptist Convention staff.
I think that this is an unfortunate trend to see in the world of collegiate ministry. I wish the situation were different and that the North Carolina Baptists would see the enormous need for Collegiate ministry.
ReplyDeleteI would add, though, that we need to respect their decision, no matter how much we disagree with them. We need to make our voices heard, but do not need to make this into a divisive issue and alienate people.
