The CCO's groundbreaking campus ministry

In this week's Comment, Gideon Strauss writes of Building Institutions - The Coalition for Christian Outreach, which he dubs "the greatest campus ministry on planet Earth." With the goal of "transforming college students to transform the world," the CCO has had a presence in the western Pennsylvania region for more than three decades. Of course, any mention of this organization inevitably brings up the name of the late great Pete Steen, an itinerant neocalvinist evangelist who had a rather large impact on numerous students throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. The most visible manifestation of the CCO is the annual Jubilee conference in Pittsburgh every February, which I was privileged to attend in 1994. Would that there were counterparts to the CCO and Jubilee throughout North America.
