Campus Christians

By David Gelles on Thursday, December 17, 2009.

Young people looking to find and keep their faith face challenges when they head off to college. Balancing peer pressure and individualism can put their beliefs to the test.

That may be especially true on a campus like the University of California at Berkeley, where “subverting the dominant paradigm” is a popular rallying cry. Some Christian students there feel they have to lose their religion just to fit in, but a small organization is having a big impact on the spiritual lives of some Berkeley students.

Producer David Gelles brings us the story.
