On 3 October 2012, it was proposed that this article be moved to Cru. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Did the organization change their name at all? Since last year all the campus groups on my campus called "Campus Crusade for Christ" were changed to "Campus for Christ". Is this a local thing, or through the whole organization? I was under the impresssion they all changed. -- Chewy

I would think if there was an organization-wide name change you would see it on the corporate Web sites and in their pressroom. Both www.ccci.org and www.campuscrusadeforchrist.com continue to use the full name. -- Sixtrojans 14:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC) reply

There has not been an organization-wide name change. Local campus chapters of Campus Crusade for Christ often use a shorter name that the staff members feel will be inviting to students. "Cru," shortened from Crusade is a common one. -- Markww 17:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Canada recently changed the name of the campus ministry to Campus for Christ. Other parts of the world have different names as well. 219.79.92.230 ( talk) 13:24, 10 September 2008 (UTC) reply

I have edited a new paragraph in the lead section of the article citing a 2011 NYT article with explanation of the name change, which appears to be in effect globally now. Carhutt ( talk) 12:56, 22 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Just to clarify, this info WOULD be acceptable in this article if it can be sourced in an Independent Source WP:IS like a newspaper, for example.--- Avatar317 ^(talk) 03:45, 10 October 2020 (UTC) reply

A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. FBPlunger ( talk) 04:13, 10 October 2020 (UTC) reply
