Georgetown to let Protestant groups on campus

WASHINGTON — Georgetown University will officially allow outside evangelical Protestant ministries back on campus in the next school year, according to an announcement May 7.

The move comes almost a year after Georgetown, a Catholic university in Washington, created a stir with campus Protestants by cutting ties with six outside evangelical ministries, including InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Chi Alpha, Asian Baptist Student Koinonia and Crossroad Campus Christian Fellowship.

Georgetown had cited a lack of communication with the groups and told the groups they could not host staff members on campus or advertise events as being sponsored by the university.
