They Agree With Kyle: Christian Groups Seek Greater Unity

Although black and Hispanic students tend to be underrepresented in their groups, Christian leaders have not yet decided what actions to take, if any, to eliminate the discrepancy.

There are no specifically black or Hispanic Christian groups at Harvard. By contrast, the AACF is one of the largest religious organizations on campus.

"Black students especially tend to find their Christian community more through their church" rather than through a student group, Ingalls said.

Stonehouse said minority underrepresentation might imply the need for significant changes, however.

"I don't know if [interracial worshiping] is an uncomfortable setting," she said. "If it is, then I think there needs to be an adjustment made."

But Littauer, who said he did not know why some minorities were underrepresented, said that the lack of black and Hispanic members is not a problem.

He added that focusing on specific groups might be polarizing.

"We shouldn't target one racial group over another," Littauer said. "The Gospel is equally intended for all people."
