TESTIMONIALS

"MacLaurinCSF performs an invaluable bridging service between the Christian and academic worlds. With one foot securely in the churches and the other securely in the university, it is excellently situated to help Christian students, Christian faculty, and the Christian public make best use of the university, and the university world to feel the force of Christian truths. May its tribe greatly increase!"Mark Noll, Professor of History, University of Notre Dame

"Executive Director Bryan Bademan and MacLaurinCSF constitute a community of believers who actively and discerningly present the Christian worldview as one that is intellectually defensible, morally insightful, and spiritually profound. Both the University of Minnesota and the local ecclesiastical community are the richer for the work of MacLaurinCSF."Jasper Hopkins, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Minnesota

"MacLaurinCSF helps and challenges budding leaders to combine sound intellect with deep faith in Jesus Christ."Al Quie, Governor of Minnesota, 1979-1983
