University Lutheran Chapel is starting a Champions for Religious Liberty chapter — and the students who host it are asking their neighbors to sit at the table with them.
University Lutheran Chapel is the home of this chapter, and the students are its hosts. But this room was never meant to be students only — and that is by design.
A university campus is a lonely place to hold a biblical conviction — in the lecture hall, in the dorm, in conversations our students didn't choose.
A student's calendar is rarely their own. A chapter made only of students empties out at midterms, and the handful still in the room lose heart. Your steady presence is what makes it hold.
You already know the moment: a class discussion turns, and you have about four seconds to decide whether to say anything. This chapter is where you get ready for that moment — before it comes.
By doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.1 Peter 2:15
The full year is set in advance so the chapter never has to negotiate a date. Miss one and you're still in — but the chapter works best when the same faces come back.
Rev. Mark Frith speaks at the ULC conference on September 19. Sessions are held at University Lutheran Chapel, 1202 Folsom St., Boulder, CO 80302.
Open to University of Colorado students, high schoolers, and members of neighboring Lutheran congregations. There is no cost and no prior study required — only a willingness to show up.
