CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION: AN EXAMINATION OF THE SHIFT IN MISSION FROM NON-SECULAR TO SECULAR
History recounts that the least memorable period for Christian higher education had been from 1920 to 1960 when numerous church-affiliated institutions followed the state universities and elite private institutions in the movement toward secularization. Research indicates that significant numbers of colleges begin with a Christ-centered mission but change their original intent to quasi-secularization or secularization.
This book examines the mission of Christian colleges in an effort to understand the shift from Christian to secularized foundation by exploring participants from the founding membership colleges of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) and ten other colleges or universities that were once Christ-centered and are now secularized. The author used a qualitative research approach to examine the mission statements of Christian colleges by exploring participants from the founding membership colleges of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) and ten other colleges and universities that have shifted to secularization. The objective was to discover why Christian colleges changed their Christian mission to secularization and determine the necessary components for Christian colleges to remain true to the original intent of their establishment. This is a fundamentally sound, reliable, historical resource.
