CRU, which used to be Campus Crusade for Christ has been on a liberal drift for quite some time. Like seemingly all Christian ministries, the spirit of the age with LGBTQ issues seems to be more than the organization could stand.
And now, if you don't agree with this Christian organization's positions on rainbow issues then you're going to have a tough time.
One of the nation's largest campus ministries has dismissed two longtime employees who publicly questioned the way it addresses theological issues surrounding sexuality and gender. Uriah and Marissa Mundell, who live and work in Austin, voiced their concern over Cru's policies in a WORLD story published Feb. 22. Two weeks later, the organization formerly known as Campus Crusade for Christ terminated their employment.
Yeah, they were fired for standing for their Christian convictions.
Originally, they were told that the difference in opinion wasn't going to prevent them from being employed. But since their disagreement became public the Mundells were axed by the "Christian" organization.
Last year, after completing the ministry's new mandatory sexuality training, the Mundells, who are both 42, said they raised concerns with their supervisors, the human resources department, and other Cru leaders, including the director of theological development, Keith Johnson. Each time, they said, their concerns were dismissed.
The Mundells questioned whether it is Scriptural for Cru to allow staff to adopt LGBT identity labels — including identifying as "gay Christian" or using a person's preferred pronouns — and to refer to same-sex attraction as a "disordering of sexual desire," not sin.
Yeah, that's a firable offense for CRU. Fired for being unwilling to compromise and taking a loving and compassionate position towards LGBT individuals.
Allie Beth Stuckey did an episode all about CRU's compromise on LGBTQ+, you can watch it here.
However, this is a little late to the party as Jon Harris has been ringing the alarm bell on CRU for years.
It's just so sad to see more and more Christian organizations decline and fail this way.
