Rupert Evans, former president of Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union, speaks out on the spiritual malaise in our colleges and universities.
Many church leaders and youth workers and many Christian parents, relatives and friends encourage Christian students to join the Christian Union (CU) when they start life at university.
Many also try to link other new students with the CU in the hope that they may hear of Christ and turn to him. Having recently been a student, I want to urge Christians to continue such links with CUs; they are vital to individual lives and to the health and strength of ongoing witness on campuses.
