When Bishop Lamb arrived in this diocese in 1991, ministry with youth and young adults was a top priority for him and it remained a primary focus of his ministry throughout his time here. Having spent four years as a campus minister, he knew first hand the importance of the church being present on our college campuses.
“It is absolutely foundational to the direction of young people’s lives that the Church be engaged in a significant ministry in our colleges and universities.” He frequently noted that nearly two thirds of the clergy he knew made decisions about ministry while students. “The Church needs to be with these folks as these decisions are made.”
Bishop Lamb advocated a “parish-based” campus ministry. A model which involves each and every one of our congregations, whether or not near a campus, in ministry to students. He established the Campus Ministry Commission to assist parishes in their ministry.
In recognition of Bishop Lamb’s commitment to ministry with students, the Commission has established an endowment in his name. The endowment will enable the Commission to fulfill its mission by providing grants to parishes for support of ministry to students.
Your contribution will continue Bishop Lamb’s vision by supporting this ministry.
A member of the Campus Ministry Commission has agreed to match
dollar for dollar contributions received by Diocesan Convention 2007.
That means your dollar becomes two, but for a limited time only.
