CRU (Campus Crusade For Christ)

I haven’t had the opportunity to watch this video yet, but I’m sharing it since it includes information about Cru and Jon Harris usually does an excellent job.

Quite a few people end up here via search engines looking for Cru info. If you are looking for more Cru info, click the Cru tag at the bottom of this post.

The Gender Anarchy Downgrade

Jon analyzes Revoice and former Cru staff who are embracing anti-biblical positions on gender/sexuality.

Former Cru staff member, John Anderson, joins Jon Harris on the Conversations That Matter podcast to discuss his experience with Cru.

There are more developments in Cru’s steady demise into wokeness and a false Gospel. I do not say this with any kind of happiness. It is tragic what is happening. From all appearances, the national organization has embraced a false, social justice Gospel. The Bible-believing staff members who see the evil of the woke social justice narrative are going to face difficult choices.

Perhaps the solid people from Cru and InterVarsity could come together to form something new. I say this as a former InterVarsity staff member who believes IVCF has also gone off the rails nationally.

I know many in conservative circles aren’t thrilled with parachurch ministries, but bringing their networks together could help them pivot more quickly than trying to recreate the wheel.

In the following comments I’ll put some videos Jon Harris made about this. I have not had time to review them all, but am still going to share them for those who are interested.

Is Cru’s “Lenses Institute” the Underdog?

Acts 21-24 and the Social Justice “Underdog” Tactic

I don’t know if this specifically mentions Cru, but it is in the series of videos he did recently so I’m going to place it here. I’m assuming Harris is referring back to the video I just shared above.

It Ain’t Bill Bright’s Cru Anymore

What Would Bill Bright Think?

What is Cru trying to hide?

The Whistleblower video by former Cru staff member Will Hoyler revealed shocking details showing how Critical Race Theory was used to indoctrinate Cru staffers through the Lenses Institute training. According to the notice from YouTube, the copyright holder filed a copyright claim, resulting in the removal of the video from YouTube.

Hoyler’s original whistleblower video pointed out some of the absurd Leftist talking points promoted by Cru in trainings required of its staff. In that first video, Hoyler asked a great question: if there were nothing to hide, then why is it secret?

I have previously posted about the movement of Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) abandoning the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for salvation in favor of woke ideology that is contrary to the Scriptures. That was in the post Cru (Formerly Campus Crusade For Christ) Going Woke, Communist (!?!).

I have a new update today that includes both a video and multiple articles.

The Evidence Cru’s Gone Woke

This is from Jon Harris at the Conversations That Matter podcast.

Three articles from The Capstone Report

Cru chose Critical Race Theory over Christian unity

A report prepared by at least 350 members of Cru for review by top organization leadership details how racial divisions and hurt feelings were the result of Cru’s Social Justice emphasis. The most important Cru trainings stressed that ethnic identity trumped Christian identity. These approaches were rooted within a framework of Critical Race Theory, which pervaded the organization.

Cru trainings promote anti-white, anti-American rhetoric

According to a bombshell internal report prepared by conservative ministry workers at Cru, formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, Cru required intensive staff trainings with radical Woke readings and exercises that promoted an anti-White-American rhetoric that polarized and radicalized staff and students. A clear anti-Donald Trump politics was presented by Cru trainers, according to the Seeking Clarity and Unity report. The internal report was prepared by conservative Cru staff.

According to one account contained in the report, “I found the underlying [and ongoing, yet very subtle] anti-white-American rhetoric to be very polarizing and incendiary. This was confusing, especially if the desired goal is to obtain ‘unity’ and ‘oneness.’”

ANALYSIS: The political & theological merge in Cru report on Critical Race Theory

The internal Cru report, Seeking Unity & Clarity on Critical Race Theory within Cru, the formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, illustrates the intersection of politics and theology. Power and identity are connected to both politics and theology.

People have identities. It is a fact of the modern world, as Political Scientist Francis Fukuyama explains in his book Identity. The question is not if someone has an identity but what is that identity. Identities can be helpful and wholesome or identities can be corrosive and balkanizing.

Cru chose balkanization over unity in Christ.
