Q Union: A Sneak Peek
October 13, 2017
The world is filled with questions, controversy, and issues that are misunderstood by the Christian community every single day. Christians have two choices: to run and hide from the issues of today or to face the problems with accurate knowledge. It seems as though the Christian church is either quick to turn away from the controversies of the world or voice opinions that end up placing a bigger wedge between people. Q Ideas is a resource that bridges the gap between people that do not agree on social issues, economic solutions, Christian doctrine and various other topics.
Q is an organization that encourages honest conversation and promotes open-minded thoughts. The purpose of Q is to push people, specifically Christians, outside of the church walls and into the secular world. Q brings top leaders, CEOs, musicians, doctors and other professionals to discuss issues that are avoided in the church. Racism, abortion, and the legalization of marijuana are just a few of the topics that Q covers in their conferences. Q seeks to promote knowledge in the Christian community on uncomfortable issues in order to speak with an honest opinion to those with opposing views.
Liberty University, as the world’s largest Christian university, has the responsibility to be the leading force in the Christian community on the issues of today. America is evidently divided, and instead of looking at the division with the mindset of entitlement or ignorance, “they don’t have it nearly as bad as their ancestors” or “these issues weren’t a problem a decade ago” our goal is to take a gracious approach. Education is a vital piece to healing the hearts of a nation that is divided by social tension.
Student Activities is very proud to partner with Q Ideas on October 26th for the first ever Q Commons on Liberty University’s campus. The conference will have three local leaders and three national leaders that will speak on how to approach a divided nation with a hopeful attitude. Join us in our mission to advance the common good and promote open-minded thinking to Liberty and the Lynchburg community.
