Deep dives
CRU's Progressive Response to Election Results
Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU) recently acknowledged feelings of sadness among their BIPOC staff in response to the election results, specifically mentioning the upset over Trump's victory. This selective communication to minority staff has been criticized for reinforcing a narrative that perceives people of color as needing special acknowledgment while ignoring the broader responsibilities of all individuals. The approach reflects a growing trend within some Christian organizations to cater messages along racial lines, leading to disagreements about accountability and personal responsibility. Critics argue that this ideology undermines the gospel by suggesting that individuals are judged by their race rather than their actions and faith.
