Is this a wind-up? I can't believe I need to explain this!
In a Christian movement, the basis of the whole status quo is belief. Faith. In an organisation which is based around that (such as a Christian Student Union) the leadership is expected to lead by example. It would be hypocritical for one of their committee to, for example, organise a evengelical day on campus if they themselves did not believe.

I've got to say Xac, my respect for you is rapidly flowing down the drain if that's the best you can offer....

But why would a Christian Union need to have philosophical debates which in all likelihood cause in-fighting and friction? If people want to debate philosophy then fine, go do it in a collective geared up for that sort of thing! A Christian Union is there to promote Christianity, not other systems of belief.
