Kicking Christ out of Windsor University
ChristianGovernance eletter – October 9, 2012
“There’s going to be a conspicuous absence at the University of Windsor’s fall convocation ceremony next week: Namely, a prayer. For the first time in the university’s history, the graduation event won’t include an entreaty to God – nor any other religious reference. In place of a prayer, the ceremony will have a non-religious request for a moment of reflection. ‘I ask that you take a moment to reflect on those who guided you along your path of learning,’ the chancellor will read. ‘To appreciate our families, our teachers, our peers, the world we live in, and all that inspires us’.” (“No more prayer at U of Windsor,” by Dalson Chen (The Windsor Star, Oct., 2012))
WRO-O-ONG! Stop letting atheists get away with their attempts to stake out moral high ground by pretending not to be religious. “A moment of reflection” is also a religious reference. It reflects the religion of Humanism. The University of Windsor has replaced Christianity with Humanism. Only the most inadequate versions of “Christianity” would be satisfied with this new option, pretending that it is morally neutral, and offering a satisfactory option.
This change is an assault on the Lordship of Christ. Too many professing Christians have embraced this Christ-denying notion of moral neutrality and would agree with the school as reported in this article: “According to the university’s Office of Human Rights, Equity and Accessibility, the permanent change is meant to reflect a ‘more inclusive atmosphere’ at the learning institution. Kaye Johnson, the university’s director of human rights, described the new secular format as ‘widening the circle.’ ‘A moment of silent reflection will allow people to use this time as they need to, not as someone else decides,’ Johnson said in a news release.”
The prayer discussed below is part of the arsenal for Christians confronted with blasphemy and idolatry against Christ Jesus.
