• YMCA returns to its Christian roots

Reall is at the vanguard of a small but growing movement to bring Christ back into the Young Men's Christian Association. About 13 percent of the 2,600 YMCA branches across the United States have set up special committees to promote Christianity. Hundreds of Y leaders convene each year to swap ideas on how to "lift up the C in the YMCA."

The YMCA did begin as a Christian organization, but lately, most have become more like a non-profit rec-center. Something to be said for getting back to the Gospel?
