Princeton University has granted official recognition to an evangelical Christian student group after two months of debate.
The school's dean of religious life, Thomas Breidenthal, had withheld official status from Princeton Faith and Action, but the university administration recently reversed the decision after an advocacy group intervened on the students’ behalf, reported AgapePress.
Princeton Faith and Action is associated with Christian Union, an off-campus ministry whose request to have a full-time chaplain on campus last year was denied by Breidenthal.
Princeton Faith and Action was only formed in March 2005, after the Christian Union was blocked once again, this time from reserving campus space.
