Abstract

It is perhaps significant that we consider the churches as having a mission to the university and college. This is an admission that on the secular campus the churches are outside looking in. They do not occupy the seat of power or even possess the persuasive ability to determine educational aims, philosophy, curriculum.

Religious Thought, Theology and Philosophy of Religion

Laity; Ministers; Scholars
