  • It is important to have a nominee who people are excited to get behind. A nominee that lacks enthusiastic support may cause low turnout not only for the Presidential election, but also for Congressional elections when the time comes. We need a strong position in the House and Senate as well.

  • When I first heard it, my initial reaction was hoping it was not an indication of some kind of liberal theological influence or cultural compromise. After reading some comments reported from Cru leaders, it’s perfectly understandable why “Campus” and “Crusade” are being dropped from the name. So the only issue of concern was not having “Christ” in the name. After some consideration, I realized the main point is that Christ is not dropped from the message.

    As Shakespeare wrote:

    “What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
    By any other name would smell as sweet;”

    What matters most is what something is, not what it is called.

    For all those who might accuse Cru of making the change out of fear of man or being ashamed of the gospel, they only need to demonstrate to them the centrality of Christ and of His name in their message (a la Acts 4:10-12). As long as that remains, I see no reason to criticize the renaming of the ministry.

    You might be interested in some comments I came across on the matter from a blogger. There is a good amount of overlap with my own thoughts.
