Campus Crusade for Christ International is the name of our global mission. In the U.S., we are now known as Cru.
There’s only one reason for our new name; we want to do a better job of connecting people to God’s love and forgiveness. It’s all about helping people experience the good news that Jesus offers. —From cru.org, July 2011

On 20 November 2012, our name changed from USPG (United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel) to United Society, but we will be known as Us.
Why? USPG was derived from a name coined in 1701, and it had become clear this eighteenth-century name was not connecting with people in the twenty-first century. —From weareUs.org.uk, November 22
Clearly the 21st-century Church is in crisis. Too many syllables render innumerable adults incapable of understanding the plain-sense meaning of words. We are here to help.
