Today I met with a frosh who is trying to choose between Chi Alpha and another ministry–we’ll call them Ministry X. A summary ensues:
“What I like best about Chi Alpha is the messages. Ministry X’s messages aren’t very good. And it isn’t clear what they believe. And I really don’t like their Bible study. Chi Alpha’s Bible study is much better. And I’ve found a place to serve at Chi Alpha–it would be much harder for me to find something to do at Ministry X because they’re so large. But I think I should choose Ministry X.”
That sound you hear is me slamming the door shut on my head repeatedly.
I thought Stanford students were supposed to be the super smart kids. That makes me feel better about my education.
Gah! Is Ministry X the trendy, popular campus org or what?
It’s actually a very solid organization. I differ from them on many points, but not on the fundamentals.
