...Although the Bible does tell Christians to seek spiritual accountability through the confession of sins, the command is a call for confession to God—or for Catholics, privately to a priest—rather than in public (this is stated quite explicitly in the Book of John). HRCF??s decision to host this event is a divergence from that tradition, and it signifies something about us all, Christians or otherwise. We are of an age of mental health awareness (an awareness which is ultimately good), self-help books, and, most notably, a consensus that sharing...

Despite the issue’s fundamental importance to student group funding, it was absent from all but the most minor, one-on-one forms of campaigning. Asked what he thought of the absence of the HRCF funding question and, indeed, of most...
...council voted to approve the AACF’s grant at last week’s meeting and did the same this week for the HRCF??despite attempts by some council members to block funding for the group...
