Students want ‘Our Lord' phrase off diplomas: "A group of students at Trinity University is lobbying trustees to drop a reference to “Our Lord” on their diplomas, arguing it does not respect the diversity of religions on campus.
“A diploma is a very personal item, and people want to proudly display it in their offices and homes,” said Sidra Qureshi, president of Trinity Diversity Connection. “By having the phrase ‘In the Year of Our Lord,' it is directly referencing Jesus Christ, and not everyone believes in Jesus Christ.”
Qureshi, who is Muslim, has led the charge to tweak the wording, winning support from student government and a campus commencement committee. Trustees are expected to consider the students' request at a May board meeting."
Compare this to the treatment of college students, workers, churches and their staff, as well as normal life situations where Christians are mistreated daily in the Muslim world--without any real voices of help or concern in the Islamic world! What a rip off. Look at the same spirit of offences against all things Christian in britain-- where will it stop?
