If this were an NPC or NIC group saying that they would only take people of a certain religious preference they would be off campus with no question. we've had many disscussions here about that same topic. I think what's problematic is that the groups say they are "only open to christian members". If you open your doors to everyone and then educate them before inviting them to join that you will only be disscussing, enjoying, christian ideas, you will likely only have people who are interested in that type of fellowship stick around anyway. We have religious/cultural groups on my campus such as the Black Student Caucus, and the Jewish Student Union, that work, study, and enjoy projects that support those communities/religious beliefs, but the groups are open to anyone who is interested. There are a few white and latino members of the BSC and a few non Jewish members of the JSU. They celebrate thier ideals, they just aren't exclusionary...and that's the problem.
