   Three campus ministry groups in Kaohsiung which had ignored
each other for decades joined for a Biblical Festival last week.
Presbyterian Campus Ministry, the interdenominational Campus
Evangelical Fellowship (CEF) and the para-church Campus Crusade
for Christ (CCC) broke down the walls that had long separated
them.
   Hwang Ming-chong, from the Presbyterian Church's Kaohsiung
Campus Ministry Center, said that each group had long built with
a particular emphasis.	Evergreen focused on theological
reflection and social concern; CEF emphasized personal and group
Bible study; and CCC majored in personal evangelism.  With
separate goals and programs they did not cooperate.
   But they got together around the Bible.  Rev. Chyi Yi-ren from
CEF offered a "General Outline of Psalms and Wisdom Literature."
Liou Jih-ping from CCC delivered a speech on "Personal Spiritual
Discussion" and Mr. Hwang from Evergreen addressed "The Basics of
the Holy Spirit."
   The convocation intended to emphasize the search for truth in
the university environment and to establish a climate for better
communication between the groups.
