Princeton Christian Fellowship ditches the label 'evangelical'

'Evangelical' has officially become a bad word. After years of deliberation, the Christian student group formerly known as the Princeton Evangelical Fellowship dropped the name it had held since it began in 1937, changing its name to Princeton Christian Fellowship earlier this school year.

The organization's trustees and directors voted to formally change the name in May 2017 and the decision was announced this August. William “Bill” Boyce ’79, executive secretary and associate chaplain of PCF, said that the term 'evangelical' has become an “unnecessary hindrance” to their work. 

“There’s a growing recognition that the term evangelical is increasingly either confusing, or unknown, or misunderstood to students,” he said.

The word 'evangelical' has a long history in the United States that typically implies a core set of doctrinal beliefs. Such tenets include belief in the authority and inspiration of the Bible, centrality of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the free offer of salvation through faith, according to Boyce.

“I’m old enough to think [evangelical] is a good word, but it’s reached a point where there’s so much baggage attached around it so that it’s no longer a helpful word to identify ourselves,” said Boyce.

Jay Sourbeer ’18, president of PCF, echoed Boyce, adding that the term 'evangelical' is “thrown around too much.” Some people don’t know what 'evangelical' means, or others may hold the aforementioned beliefs, but not identify as evangelical. Others associate it negatively with certain political positions. The definition of evangelicalism has morphed and taken on “too much cultural baggage,” Boyce said, including the assumption of a political agenda.

“There might be certain assumptions that all evangelicals are Republicans, for example,” Boyce said. “We’re interested in being people who are defined by our faith and by our faith commitments and not by any sort of political agenda.” While Boyce firmly clarified that the discussion to remove evangelical from their group’s name predated Trump’s election, the politicization of the term 'evangelical' reached a fever pitch with Trump’s election. A quick Google search reveals, fairly or unfairly, how strongly the word evangelical has become associated with Trump supporters. The term has taken on a deeply uncomfortable and misleading connotation for the University's own evangelical Christians.

...The politicization of the term 'evangelical' reached a fever pitch with Trump’s election. A quick Google search reveals, fairly or unfairly, how strongly the word evangelical has become associated with Trump supporters. The term has taken on a deeply uncomfortable and misleading connotation for the University's own evangelical Christians.

The author -- Rebecca Ngu -- appears to be a progressive Democrat getting her digs in. Must be nice to be an immigrant from a Third World commie craphole, prospering, but still running down the very America established and built largely by a very observant Protestant America.

She suggests the reader conduct "a quick Google search" that "reveals...how strongly the word evangelical has become associated with Trump supporters."

ERGO, according to Miss Ngu, the presumptive conclusion of a "deeply uncomfortable and misleading connotation for the University's own evangelical Christians."

Played both sides of the issue. Cute. Exactly HOW is it "deeply uncomfortable" for Princeton's Evangelicals to be associated with President Trump? Conversely, shall we presume it "comfortable" to be associated with voting for a divisive Marxist, Muslim racist, 0bama? Progs are utterly delusional pretentious liars and hypocrites.

Good points. Does anyone imagine that more than 3-4 Princeton students even voted for Trump?

I don't.

I can hardly believe it either.

This so-called"deep" discomfort; The authoress still neglected to explain why that would or should be the case.
