Christian Unions (CUs) are evangelical protestant Christian student groups. They exist in many countries and are often affiliated with either International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (through a national body) or Campus Crusade for Christ.
Many Christian Unions are one of the many societies affiliated to their universities students' union. Some UK Christian Unions have had difficult relationships with the students' union due to their policy of allowing leaders to choose their successors in order, they argue, to ensure a Christian leadership (students' unions often require democratic processes be followed), opinions on issues such as homosexuality and the requirement that leaders agree to certain doctrinal statements that exclude some Christians.[1][2]
