The Ithacan

As a second-year member of this community, I have experienced the changes taking place to make Lighthouse accessible to all students on campus. 

The community has recently rebranded and is now named the Lighthouse Christian Fellowship (LCF).

The Protestant Community (PC) at Ithaca College’s new identity as the Lighthouse Christian Fellowship (LCF) is more than just a name change.

An image of the Virgin Mary as an undocumented, Latina teenager may conjure up confusion — and even vehement rejection — from conservative religious followers.

If we wish to live up to the inclusive and equitable institution we claim to be, we must push forward in making all aspects of our college community equitable.

My resignation, while not an easy decision, is something I have chosen to do for my own health.

Rev. James Touchton, chaplain of the Ithaca College Protestant Community, will resign from his position at the end of Fall 2018.

It’s time for Ithaca College to stop profiting off marginalized communities they don’t even listen to.

I’m proud to see fellow queer students fighting against harassment and discrimination and pushing for more visibility on campus. It’s a very difficult space to be in and there aren’t easy solutions.

A petition with approximately 2,000 signatures from Ithaca College community members and others demands that change be made within the Ithaca College Protestant Community.

This holiday season, campus organizations at Ithaca College are working with local charities and hosting events to give back to the community.

Harper is the senior mobilizing director for Sojourners, a national, Christian-oriented organization which calls for action for social and racial justice. During her March 3 lecture in Emerson Suites, she said the imaginative task is difficult for some people because many lack the imagination to think of a world where race-based poverty is not a constant war.
