Purdue University this week suspended and sent home 36 students as a result of a pledge party not adhering to Purdue health guidelines.
Kentucky Kernel newspaper had the following headline, "CSF Shut down over Social Distancing". The paper went on to say, "UK has banned Christian Student Fellowship, one of the most popular student organizations on campus, from hosting events for the remainder of K Week."
Three larger issues here:
-Your ministry does not want to be the cause of students being suspended and sent home from school.
-No ministry wants their Welcome Events to be shut down....and....could this lead to more sanctions by the school against the ministry?
-Do we genuinely care about the health of our students and their affect on the general population?
Be Wise! Be thoughtful. Be careful!! Or, as my friend Bill Choate said, "Ministries are not always being good citizens. We must do better than this."
