Swidey, N. 2003. “God on the Quad.” Boston Globe. 30 November 2003.
Every Sunday night at Park Street Church, over 1,000 evangelical students from colleges across the Boston area gather for music and fellowship. A live band performs by the altar, and lyrics, flashed on a huge screen, encourage the students to sing along: “You make me move, Jesus/Every breath I take, I breathe in You!” Swidey’s article offers a portrait of the growing number of evangelical communities that have thrived on Boston-area campuses in recent years. While some evangelical groups are associated with national organizations like Campus Crusade for Christ and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, others are homegrown. Students reflect a range of ethnic and racial backgrounds, though Asian-American students are a particularly notable presence in the fellowships (see Rebecca Kim 2004 for a discussion of Asian American campus ministries).
