‘The best of times and the worst of times’: most of us can associate with Dickens’ words at some period.
For me it was my three years at Durham University. The amazing highs of new experiences, friends, and opportunities all sadly twinned with lows of wasted time, missed chances and wrong decisions. Without a doubt they proved vital in my Christian discipleship. I owe a huge debt to those of an earlier generation who decided CUs should be student-led.
I am now anxious, with many others, that student-led ministry appears to be under threat. This threat is not because of restrictions imposed by Students’ Unions and Guilds. The threat is coming from well meaning, gospel churches!
