Interest in religion increases on college campusesBy Erin RoachBaptist PressNASHVILLE, Tenn. - At college campuses across the nation, including Harvard and Berkeley, chaplains and professors say students are more interested in religion and spirituality than at any time they can remember, according to a report by The New York Times."My theory is that the baby boomers decided they weren't going to impose their religious life on their children the way their parents imposed it on them. The idea was to let them come to it themselves," Lloyd Steffen, a chaplain at Lehigh University, told The Times May 2."And then they get to campus and things happen; someone dies, a suicide occurs. Real issues arise for them, and they sometimes feel that they don't have resources to deal with them," Steffen said. "And sometimes they turn to religion and courses in religion."At the University of California, Berkeley, a campus once known for its defiance of religious tradition, there now are 50 to 60 Christian organizations, and Randy Bare, a Presbyterian campus pastor at Berkeley, said student attendance at Catholic and Presbyterian churches near the campus has increased significantly, The Times reported.Bare also noted that a large number of students at Berkeley are Asian-American, and many come from observant Christian homes. "That's new, and it's a remarkable shift," he said.More students across the country are enrolling in religion classes and even majoring in religion, observers say, and more intellectual discussion groups are focusing on spiritual questions."University officials explained the surge of interest in religion as partly a result of the rise of the religious right in politics, which they said has made questions of faith more talked about generally," The Times said. "In addition, they said, the attacks of Sept. 11 underscored for many the influence of religion on world affairs."Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said if former Yale President Timothy Dwight were alive, "he would rejoice in the signs of a Great Awakening akin to what he sparked across campus in the early 1800s.""The grandson of the great Jonathan Edwards, Dwight noticed that the students and faculty had drifted far from the Christian faith on which the university was founded," Perkins wrote in his Washington Update May 2. "To reverse the growing skepticism, Dwight fired the professors who embraced the new wave of secularism."As a result, nearly a third of the student body was converted to Christianity," Perkins said. "At a time when hope is in rare supply, let's continue to pray that God seizes the hearts of these students for His purpose and raises them up to defend the values we hold dear."
