These conversations had at Forums represent the best of what dialogue between differing opinions can evoke. The circle is drawn wide to include views and perspectives different from our own in hopes of discovering more of what C.S. Lewis referred to as those principles and truths which constitute that which is “merely Christian.” We hope you’ll add your voice to the conversation.

The Forum

faith. reason. tomfoolery.

Mere Christianity Forum is a unique campus ministry at Furman University in Greenville, SC. Through our innovative blend of faith, reason and tomfoolery we create space for students and faculty to explore the depth and breadth of Christian faith and challenge them to:

Integrate their Christian faith into all aspects of their lives in the midst of a secular university

Navigate and engage a post-modern culture with the grace of Jesus Christ

Experience the richness of authentic Christian community

Our philosophy of ministry is inspired by C.S. Lewis’ quest to discover and invite others into ‘mere Christianity,’ “the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times.” Lewis’ ardent support of thoughtful Christian faith, Christian unity and openness to those outside the Christian tradition sets the tone for our approach to ministry. As a result, we find ourselves not only shaping decidedly Christian students and faculty but also attracting and impacting those who are often left un-reached by conventional models of campus ministry.

——-QUOTES ABOUT THE FORUM——-

“Mere Christianity Forum has really created space for me to think critically, act faithfully, and live playfully. I can’t imagine my college experience without the conversations and relationships I’ve developed through the Forum and the Vista House.”
Matthew Goodson, Senior Vista House Resident, Physics and Religion Major, North Carolina

“My time at the Forum was highly stimulating. If all the groups I spoke to were as sharp and informed as that, both America and the church would be in a very different place.”
Dr. Os Guinness, noted evangelical speaker and author of ‘The Case for Civility’

“Mere Christianity Forum is one of the most creative and innovative campus ministries I’ve come across in recent years. MCF provides students at one of this nation’s great universities the opportunity to experience the intellectual richness of the Christian faith in a Christian communal context. My visit to Furman as a guest of MCF was a highlight of my ministry.”
Rev. Dr. Will Willimon, Bishop, North Alabama Conference, the United Methodist Church
