Protestant ministries with long histories of serving students at Georgetown University were told last week they are no longer welcome and have been banned from holding on-campus events and using the school's name.

The decision, which will affect the few hundred students belonging to six Christian groups, was announced during a meeting of leaders of the campus's Affiliated Ministries in a letter from the Rev. Constance C. Wheeler, a Georgetown Protestant chaplain.

"As a result of our new direction for the upcoming academic year, we have decided not to renew any covenant agreements with any of the Affiliated Ministries," she wrote. "While we realize this comes as a great disappointment, please know we are moving forward with this decision only after much dialogue with the Lord." the rest
