Students want School to remove "Our Lord"
 

A group of students at Trinity University in Texas wants the Christian-rooted school to remove the words "Our Lord" from their diplomas, the Houston Chronicle reported.



"A diploma is a very personal item, and people want to proudly display it in their offices and homes,” Sidra Qureshi, president of Trinity Diversity Connection, told the Chronicle. “By having the phrase ‘In the Year of Our Lord,' it is directly referencing Jesus Christ, and not everyone believes in Jesus Christ."


Qureshi, a Muslim student at the school, is leading the campaign to remove the words. The Board of Trustees is expected to vote on the matter during a meeting next month.

Some times we date things using the abbreviations B.C. or A.D.

It is my understanding that B.C. stands for "Before Christ" and is some times replaced by a non-religious term B.C.E. which stands for Before the Common Era.

A.D. means Anno Domini or "year of our Lord." Since this is 2010 it means it is the 2010th year of our Lord. He's not dead, this is His 2010th year. What is the secular or non-religious term for A.D.? They could use that on the diplomas.

I like the idea of using A.D. because it is a testimony to the fact that Jesus is not dead. Our Lord did die but He rose from the dead and is alive forevermore.

C.E. or 'common era' would be the secular term
