Ministry Decision Draws Criticism

Dozens of students circulated petitions in Red Square on Wednesday criticizing the university's recent decision to bar six Protestant ministries from campus, following a week of extensive media coverage and complaints from alumni and students.

Members from three of the organizations manned tables and distributed letters declaring the expulsion of the groups, known as affiliated ministries, "inconsistent with the very ideals that Georgetown seeks to uphold" . . .

Some Affiliates Saw Emerging Split

"I started working with Georgetown in 1996, and I'd say for the first seven years or so, we had a great relationship with the chaplaincy," Offner said. "There were some new hires in the chaplaincy in the past few years and they have tried to move the ministries in a different direction."
