CHRISTIAN COUNCIL The Christian Council, under the leadership of verend Robert Newman, plans and directs the ligious activities at Lees-McRae. This organ- ation serves as the core of the Student Christian ssociation and strives to promote a better spiritual mosphere on campus. The Christian Council, acting as spiritual con- ience, stimulates Christian thought, study, and rvice within the student body, challenging each ember to understand and commit himself to the way f Christ. To promote a more active Christian fellowship, e Council encourages student participation in orship services, service projects, and community elations hips . The student Christian Association includes all tudents and functions through an elected Council hich plans and co-ordinates activities for everyone. ll students attend Sunday evening Vespers twice a onth when outstanding ministers from all over the outh visit the campus. On alternate Sundays, Vespers ncludes a variety of informal, discussion-type orship experiences. Midweek worship is every ednesday morning at 10:00. Opportunities for ecreation and service round out this largely student- ed program. Witha resident enrollment of around 500 the Stu- ent Christian Association provides opportunities for he campus community as a whole to gather together n recognition and promotion of our common faith. Another focal point acknowledges the different enominational traditions. Although a plurality of resbyterian students enroll in Lees- McRae, Baptist, ethodist, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, nd several other churches are represented on ampus. The Westminister Fellowship, the Episcopal utheran Fellowship, the Baptist- Lutheran Club, and he Newman Club foster their respective Christian mphasis and provide a stimulating interchange for he community as a whole. Thus, a dialogue between common cause and diversity of interpretation characterizes Lees-McRae as sound academic curricula presented in a context hich is seeking to understand and to express the Iimplications which arise out of the event of Jesus Christ. --Robert G.
