We are a unique Christian student movement modeling the unity of the church, embodying ecumenical tradition, reclaiming and proclaiming the Gospel. Seeking to avoid both blind skepticism and blind faith, we hope to provide a comfortable environment where honest questions and dialogue are encouraged and truth is sought.
Our Forum meetings usually begin with a speaker followed by ample time for discussion. You will usually find a diverse assortment of people at our meetings: from Christian to agnostic, Protestant to Eastern Orthodox, to even both students and faculty. Our name is derived from C.S. Lewis’ idea of mere Christianity, “the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times.” Lewis’ ardent support of thoughtful Christian belief and Christian unity sets the tone for our group.
Through our regular meetings, retreats, and other events our main task is to try to take on the most important questions of why we live and what we live for. In keeping with our slogan, “faith. reason. tomfoolery.” we pursue those questions with intellect and hope, trusting that understanding makes life more interesting and exciting to live. But don’t let our focus on the life of the mind confuse you. We take pride in ‘tomfoolerous’ shenanigans as well.
