Religious Emphasis Week 4 83
Martin Luther King’s Ecumenical Altruism Of Evangelism
Schedule For Religious Emphasis Week
One of the glorious
chapters in Christian faith and
life was the holistic concern
for the spiritual and material
well-being expressed in
eighteenth century
evangelicalism. This move
ment not only sought to
spread the gospel but also
labored for the educational,
social, economic, and
political improvement of
humanity. This ecumenical
altruism of evangelicalism led
to the abolition of the slave
trade in the British Empire and
to many philanthropic enter
prises, including prison
reform, establishment of

schools and orphanages, care
of the poor, protection of
children, relief for the men
tally ill, and factory reform.
Jesus is our best example of
evangelicalism based on
ecumenical altruism, a
responsible love that leaps all
boundries, out of a profound
respect for all people (Rev.
21:3). An ecumenical Chris
tian proclaims Jesus Christ as
his Lord and Savior, while at
Christian ecumenism is
based on a holistic theological
the same time demonstrating
a willingness to co-operate
with non-Christians of good
will.
analysis of the issues. The
issues effecting humanity are
the basis of our commonality.
Hence, our analysis must
contain the norms for
coherence. These norms are,
be consistent, be systematic,
be inclusive, be analytic, be
synoptic, be active, be open,
be critical, be decisive and
create a synthesis.
This year’s Religious
Emphasis Week Program will

The Hottest News On
by Eugene Maxwell, Jr.
Have you heard the latest? Hey, I know
you must have heard the latest! Say -
what? Man, it’s sizzlin’ hot - I mean, it’s
scorching hot! I know you must have
heard? Well, since you haven’t heard,
then I guess I’ll have to hip you to the
latest.
You know that building called, “Graves
Hall," better known as “The Grave Yard?”
Well, now it has hot water 24-hours a day!
Apparently, the water heating system
that was connected to Graves Hall wasn’t
working properly, so most of the residents
of Graves Hall had to settle for taking
extremely cold showers. In order for
occupants to get hot showers, they had to
take them at odd hours of the day. The
best hours to take showers were between
the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.,
when everyone was in class, or 1:00 a.m.
and 6:00 a.m., when everyone was fast
asleep. Apparently during the high de
mand hours the water heating system was
overused; thus, hot water remained only
a short while.
As a result, many of the occupants of
Graves Hall took advantage of the oppor
tunity to use other dormitories’ shower
ing facilities, so that they could get a
decent and comfortable shower.
But now, the water heating system has
been repaired and the men of Graves Hall
no longer need to use other dormitories’
showering facilities, because the water is
"SCORCHING HOT" 24-hours a day.
Well, how does it feel to know the
hottest news on campus?
