Washing Feet Endangers Students, School Says — 03/23/2007
CNSNews.com) – If Jesus washed his disciples’ feet at a Georgia college in 2007, he’d likely be accused of “hazing.” That’s the position a Christian ministry at Savannah State University has found itself in, after it washed the feet of its new members. The campus ministry Commissioned II Love (C2L) was also accused of “harassing” students by sharing their faith. Washing of feet is a symbolic gesture of servitude in the Christian faith, following the example of Jesus, who washed the disciples’ feet during their last meal before his crucifixion, as recounted in the New Testament gospel of John (13:1-17).
