Campus Safety
Grounded Viewpoint
Campus safety, as seen in these recent tragedies, highlights the tension between the call to protect one another (Psalm 82:3-4, 'Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed') and the brokenness of a fallen world where violence and fear can disrupt even places meant for learning and growth. The anguish, grief, and calls for justice and transparency echo biblical laments (Psalm 13) and the Christian hope that God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), urging believers to pray, seek peace, and advocate for the safety and dignity of all students.
