...help them live better lives as persons." Most chaplains today shun even such an old-fashioned evangelistic idea as a "Religious Emphasis Week"; they talk about God only when the students want to. Church-sponsored activities, often organized ecumenically by team ministers of different faiths, rarely stress their denominational origin. At Columbia, the Protestant Office sponsors a student hangout called "The Post-crypt," but Acting University Chaplain John Cannon stoutly contends that it is "not a Christian coffeehouse; it has nothing to do with evangelism...
