Inter-Ministry Task Force Responds to Campus Tension

Editor's note: The following letter, reprinted from the Website www.loveforyale.com, was written by an inter-ministry task force at Yale in response to racial tension and protests on campus in the fall semester. The document was signed by over 100 Yale students and staff members from various ministries, including Athletes in Action, Living Water, Yale Christian Fellowship, Chi Alpha, Yale Graduate Christian Fellowship, Yale Faith and Action, Yale Students for Christ, Yale Gospel Choir, and United Church of Westville.

To Our Campus:

We are writing to you as a family of brothers and sisters in Christ. We have been deeply moved and affected by the pain experienced by many on our campus. We affirm that there is real, legitimate, and deep pain endured by communities of color here at Yale, not just as a result of recent events, but rather the result of lifelong experiences.

As part of its sesquicentennial celebration, Cornell University recently spotlighted the institution's former training program for missionaries on furlough, including the course's ties to a global evangelist.

In November, the university's official newspaper paid tribute to the Cornell School for Missionaries, which operated from 1930 to 1964.

I’m not sure if you view this month in quite the same way as I do — a somewhat comical juxtaposition of the silliness/romantic celebration of Valentine's Day and the sobering start of the Lenten season when we consider the path of Christ as He approaches His crucifixion and resurrection. Certainly any serious celebration of the former would be rather empty without the tangible demonstration of the love of Christ shown for us in the latter.

This question was put forth by Gary G. Hoag in an article for Christian Leadership Alliance.

Our labors have a greater purpose that cannot be measured in dollars and cents.

There is something about the weekend that we look forward to throughout the work week. Then, as Monday comes, we again settle into our quotidian work schedule and routine.
