CRU, which used to be Campus Crusade for Christ has been on a liberal drift for quite some time. Like seemingly all Christian ministries, the spirit of the age with LGBTQ issues seems to be more than the organization could stand.
And now, if you don't agree with this Christian organization's positions on rainbow issues then you're going to have a tough time.
One of the nation's largest campus ministries has dismissed two longtime employees who publicly questioned the way it addresses theological issues surrounding sexuality and gender. Uriah and Marissa Mundell, who live and work in Austin, voiced their concern over Cru's policies in a WORLD story published Feb. 22. Two weeks later, the organization formerly known as Campus Crusade for Christ terminated their employment.
Yeah, they were fired for standing for their Christian convictions.
Originally, they were told that the difference in opinion wasn't going to prevent them from being employed. But since their disagreement became public the Mundells were axed by the "Christian" organization.
Last year, after completing the ministry's new mandatory sexuality training, the Mundells, who are both 42, said they raised concerns with their supervisors, the human resources department, and other Cru leaders, including the director of theological development, Keith Johnson. Each time, they said, their concerns were dismissed.
The Mundells questioned whether it is Scriptural for Cru to allow staff to adopt LGBT identity labels — including identifying as "gay Christian" or using a person's preferred pronouns — and to refer to same-sex attraction as a "disordering of sexual desire," not sin.
Yeah, that's a firable offense for CRU. Fired for being unwilling to compromise and taking a loving and compassionate position towards LGBT individuals.
Allie Beth Stuckey did an episode all about CRU's compromise on LGBTQ+, you can watch it here.
However, this is a little late to the party as Jon Harris has been ringing the alarm bell on CRU for years.
It's just so sad to see more and more Christian organizations decline and fail this way.

Not cool.
I can’t believe it has gotten to this with Campus Crusade for Christ.
Unregenerate sex drive will beat unregenerate religious drive just about all the time.
Many people have been saved by campus crusade for Christ before. Too bad they are ashamed of Christ now. He says He will forget them on judgement day.
This makes me incredibly sad. Campus crusade was one of the few organizations in my college days to shine the light of Christ into the universities, which are nothing more than communist indoctrination camps for future leaders.
The Mundells should rejoice in their being fired.
We are where we are at in all realms.
The Log Cabin Republicans hold a gala in Mar-a-Lago as we all know. The next Trump Administration will have plenty of “Gay Christian Republicans” in it.
The “line” drawn on Transgenderism is that gender transition is for adults but not children and we are all supposed to cheer that in the “Conservative Movement”.
All the Republican politicians defend that ‘line’.
I’m glad I don’t participate in the political drama anymore although I am actually very tolerant.
I have to allow the Higher Power to “settle the issue”.
We elected G W MORON, in part, to stop gay ‘marriage’.
We elected a complete MORON and we still got gay ‘marriage’, against our will.
Now we are halfway down the slippery slope that they mocked us for mentioning.
RE: I can’t believe it has gotten to this with Campus Crusade for Christ.
This trend towards being afraid to offend anyone started when they dropped the word “crusade” from their organization name for fear of offending Muslims. It has been downhill from there.
What does CRU stand for? I’ll bet the “C” doesn’t stand for Christ or Christian.
Consequences are here and on the way the emerging tyranny is synonymous with selfish affirmations of sexuality.
I will consider my own wrongs first not dwell in outrage about the wrongdoing of others.
Satan will infiltrate and destroy (or at least try to destroy) any effective Christian ministry.
Sadly, he usually all too successful.
God will raise something else up in its stead.
Homos for Satan got fired trying to infiltrate, who could have ever guessed that would happen?
Bill Bright would be turning over in his grave!! The scripture warned about this happening in the last days.... and we are there!!! God help those who are deceiving MANY... their punishment will be four fold!!
From early days of the ministry they believed you could be a “carnal” Christian that was saved but showed no change in your life. Essentially in their tracts they expressed that carnal Christians were saved but had not taken Christ as their Lord. It’s no wonder they have lost their way.
They felt that the word “crusade” would be offensive to Muslims. Not realizing that the outcome of becoming a Christian from Islamic background could mean death to the convert. Give it up CRU. You are officially irrelevant.
So you’re working against Trump now as well as for the Chicoms.
Gender is in the mind, they say. Therefore physical transition is unnecessary. Not to mention impossible( unless, in your mind), any physical trait can represent any sex you believe it to be.
I’m in the reality business speaking to the facts on the ground.
Hating China all the time isn’t a way to operate it’s as bad as all the Trump Hate out there.
Perfection is in Heaven not on Earth to be demanding others be in your camp 100 percent of the time is by implication a presumption of Deity.
Campus Crusade for Christ always had a cold side as it was 90% about evangelizing with “The Four Spiritual Laws” and then if someone “Accepted” Christ then they were pretty much on their own. After it became CRU then it was obvious that they were actually ashamed of Christ. So it is no surprise that they are now a fake christian organization.
