Haunting questions
More things to ponder
1) If the church is called to be missionary, certainly that includes the mission to the universities, secondary schools and institutions of learning. The question is whether drawing students out from their universities to participate in church programmes is a way of being a witness or going into the campuses constitutes a better witness?
2) Related to that, since currently, the campuses are already witnessed to by para church groups, does this mean that ultimately the para-church group must prepare and mature students in such a way so that para church groups become redundant and dispensable?
3) And related to that, what is the true purpose of any student work in campus? A witness? As a plotform for interdenominational bonding? A training school?
4) Let's say that denominations did not exists, does this mean that student work is redundant? (after all, since churches are not denominationally separated, any outreach by a local church can't really alienate other believers from another church along doctrinal lines)
5) Why is the church neglecting campus work, where they certainly ought to be.
6) Why does Uliang have so many questions to ask.
