Hello, Paul. Thanks for bringing your concerns to this listserv.
It's my experience that there are appropriate ways to share your faith on
a secular campus, both in class, in your office, and in the coffee shop.
Of course you need to use discretion, and your witness needs to be
supported with prayer.
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship has a faculty ministry which aims to
assist Christian faculty in serving the Lord on their campuses. The
director is Terry Morrison, whose email address is at the top of this
posting. He works out of Madison, WI but visits faculty from time to
time all over the country.
