Recommendation from the Faith Task Force:
Charge the Chaplains’ Office to write a comprehensive strategic plan by the end of the 2009–10 academic year that directly addresses, among other areas, how to increase programs to nurture Christian faith among Christian students; that more clearly defines the purpose of daily chapel; that explores the best practices of all campus ministries with respect to forms of Christian expression in worship, including music; and that addresses the support level needed for student-led faith ministries.
Additional explanation:
We recommend that an increase in staffing and financial resources for the Chaplains’ Office that would likely accompany such a comprehensive strategic direction plan be given serious consideration and priority.
