Are we going to treat the campus as a whole as our mission field? What if Christ really, truly engaged the whole university? This is a great, bold and magnificent vision.

InterVarsity president Alec Hill – who formerly taught law at Seattle Pacific University – has written an opinion column on Christianity Today's website that offers some wisdom and insight on the CLS v. Martinez case (and I'm not just saying that because he's my boss).
