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.

There are several new developments in the Cru descent into wokeness, CRT, identity politics and diversity. I haven’t had time to do a deep dive into these new developments. I’m simply going to share the links to the Capstone Report and let you sort through them if this is of interest to you.

The CRU posts here get steady search engine traffic so clearly this is an issue for more than a few people.

Links below are new posts in order of publication date

New documents highlight how Cru embraces CRT, Identity Politics

Cru, formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, continues to promote Critical Race Theory (CRT) inspired concepts. Cru does this despite the exposure of CRT within the organization by an extensive report by orthodox Christians released last year. New documents provided to the Capstone Report highlight both the infiltration of Cru by CRT and how leadership promotes diversity goals including the identity politics inspired “Multiplying BIPOC and Female leaders.”

Cru puts emphasis on diversity in Oneness presentation

As Cru prepares for its Staff Conference, new documents leaked to the Capstone Report illustrate how far Marxist identity theology has influenced top Cru leadership. In this PowerPoint presentation, you can see how knowledge is portrayed through the lens of identity. Particularly, Cru is promoting diversity based on race, sex, and age. We present images of each slide in the Cru Oneness in Diversity PowerPoint presentation. Pay special attention to how Intercultural Learning is part of the Cru Oneness plan.

Cru, Lenses Institute lied about shutdown of race ministry

Cru, formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, appears to have lied about its leadership’s role in shuttering the Lenses Institute. A new video provided to the Capstone Report, details how Cru and Lenses were more tightly connected in the decision to temporarily close Lenses training. In fact, a Cru panel made the decision to close Lenses and not the Lenses team as Cru claimed in its public statements.

More evidence that Cru is highly suspect on the national level. There are certainly solid believers still under the umbrella of the ministry, but it would appear that Cru is lost in terms of a national movement sharing the Gospel. Our brothers and sisters in Christ who recognize the toxic evil taking over Cru need our prayers as they make the difficult decision to walk away. It increasingly looks like that will be their only option. It would appear from all that is coming out that Cru is beyond saving at this point. If anyone has any solid evidence contrary to that point, I’d love to see it.

From the article: Cru Military Ministry leader resigns in protest of Critical Race Theory

Joe Ludwikowski, Executive Director of the Military Ministry at Cru, said he tried for seven years to stop Cru, formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, from its Leftward Drift into Wokeness. The inaction of Cru leadership and its promotion of Critical Race Theory led to his resignation after 22 years of ministry.

In a video posted to Vimeo, retired Navy Captain Joe Ludwikowski said his resignation came as a surprise to many in the organization and seemed “spur of the moment;” however, he said it was a long seven-year process spurred by Cru’s embrace and promotion of Critical Race Theory (CRT).

“Since Cru 15, I’ve written every single Cru leader expressing my concerns about our Staff Conferences, the emergence of Critical Race Theory as a guiding philosophy within Cru and about what I’ve seen as a departure from our original mission and vision,” Joe Ludwikowski said in a video message posted to Vimeo. “I’ve tried to be a voice against philosophical changes I’ve observed in Cru. I’ve argued against teaching based on Critical Race Theory being included in new staff orientation, IBS, and SLI.”

Ludwikowski said these concerns were presented to Cur leadership via “multiple letters.” Each of these letters were “without one official reply,” he said.

Cru and the Lenses Institute – More Updates on Cru Going Woke

View Full Post with Embedded ContentCru and the Lenses Institute – More Updates on Cru Going Woke

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?

Jon Harris at the Conversations That Matter podcast

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?

Article from The Capstone Report

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?

Three Updates on Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) Going Woke

View Full Post with Embedded ContentThree Updates on Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) Going Woke

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.

Here are two videos that take a look at what is going on in Cru (formerly known as Campus Crusade for Christ).

And lest anyone think I’m picking on Cru, I recently unsubscribed from virtually everything related to InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. I don’t even recognize the organization I was on staff with in the 90s any longer. I told the Area Directors exactly why I was unsubscribing.

The faithful remnants that remain in IVCF and Cru need to wake up or both will cease to be anything related to the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ in just a few more years.

I thought this comment under the second video was sad.

Thanks John for doing this. Deeply sad that you have to, but without this documentation, people won’t believe how bad things have become. I live in a average sized midwestern city with a large state college. It has a big Cru presence. My wife and I actively minister to college students and I could share some midboggling stories of encounters with Cru over the years. I don’t want anyone to think the speakers you showed at Cru19 or these examples of the staff are going against the tide of the larger ministry. There is a deep divide across the lay minister equivalent in Cru, but much of it is age related. Many, many of the ones I know would be right in line with the conference and they are way more savvy with technology and social media. The old timers have no idea how widespread this is around them. It’s become a self perpetuating system. We see lower quality students (theologically and critical thinking) being put in roles of student leader, who after graduation then “go on staff”. When you hear what happens at staff training, summer camps, Lenses, etc it’s not a stretch to say Cru won’t have any resemblance within 5 years to the Crusade For Christ it began as. When the grey hairs retire, it’s over. The only good news is their student populations have decreased so much in the last 5 years it’s not as impacting as it otherwise could be. Students get the same crap in their classes all day, so why go to a meeting at 7pm on Thur night to hear the same thing?
