THE STRUCTURAL FUNCTION An important aspect of ministry is that of governance. here we attempt to bring about needed functional relashionships between otherwise isolated segments of our life. Ministry concerns require us constantly to buil and utilize structural linkages between disciplines and agencies of the academic and religious communities so that new insights, new sharings of concerns and new expressions of common compasion and energy for social change may emerge. it has become evident that ministrie to , with and through structures is sometimes the most effective way to minister to persons and often the best way to monister to the University as a community. We build and dismantle such structures of the ministry as the flux of events demonstrate their utility or lack of it. SOME RESULTANT GOALS Organize and facilitate support systems for the implementation of social change resulting from prophetic concerns. Build ecumenical relationships with other campusministry groups to increase the integrity and impact of the Christian presence at the University. Explore with local churches and their pastors ways of strengthening the ties of our "mutual ministry" in the academic community. Accomplish the traditional "administrative tasks" related to the day-to-day maintenance of ministry and facilities.
