Out of the Chalice and onto the Campus: The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and Texas Christian University Today

Abstract

Out of the Chalice and onto the Campus: The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and Texas Christian University Today seeks to analyze how the historical relationship between the Disciples of Christ denomination and TCU has shaped the identity of the university today. The project analyzed the history of the church affiliation at TCU and all of the components of that as a background to understanding the modern-era of TCU to understand the manifestation of the church relationship today. The paper itself is divided into two parts, the historical section and the contemporary section. The historical section builds the foundation to understand the scope and nature of the church connection at TCU in order to understand it in the modern context.
