Strange... I was told by the president of my ex-college's Catholic Students Society (CSS) that Christian Fellowship (CF) was (heavily) promoting their club today - "out of the blue". Orientation's over, no events, nothing. Just promoting weekly meetings. What's more according to her: just today she was informed that the lecture room she booked weeks ago [for CSS weekly meetings] was claimed by CF for the whole year. Poor girl had no alternative but to pick a room next to the one CF laid claim.
I don't want to jump into any conclusions, I just *hope* that this is all a coincidence and NOT as a response to the CSS meetings.

On a slightly different note...
After much contemplation and consultation. The CSS have decided to hold future meetings on the original proposed timeslot [i.e. concurrently with CF's]. The time slot chosen was never intended for conflict/competition, rather the CSS considers it to be good timing for most students in college. Besides the CSS' target audience are mainly CATHOLICS. So what's the competition about?
Hey, if Saint Francis Xavier's CATHOLIC Church and Glad Tidings are able to have Mass/service on the same street AND day! Why not CSS and CF? Frankly, I don't think non-Christians will be "torn" between these two Christian societies! I understand Ms. A's worry that this will show non-Christians how disunited Christians are, but the truth to the matter is: THERE IS NO TOTAL UNITY among Catholics and Protestants (or even among the 25,000 denominations). So why "fake" unity or hide our divisiveness? Wouldn't that be deceptive?
QUESTION: What if non-Christians pose questions which touch on issues of Christian disunity?
Answer: Simple - just explain to them.
Case closed.
