Subscribe to the NetworkChristian School Environments
I was at a Christian high school this morning. Cool kids. We had some good discussion – I was both impressed with some of their thinking and yet disheartened by the amount of confusion in others.
You could say I’m becoming increasingly concerned about these environments. Whether it be high school or college, I’m finding more and more confusion with those attending these schools. Whether or not it’s the school’s fault I’m not ready to say, but I can say that people in these environments have some of the same confusions and struggles going on.
I’m not saying we should throw them out, nor am I suggesting we should negate them. I’m not saying they are bad. I’m just saying I’m concerned. Thus, I think I will start a series that will go over the next few months that discusses these environments – in particular college environments and how they may or may not relate to the our college ministries.
This series will discuss a ton of questions I’ve been asking in this regard, but today I’ll throw out one question: Why do we have them in the first place? What was the original reason they began?
Christian colleges originated with the conviction of defending the faith. But this is not the case today. So, what is their purpose today…?
