Professor Calls for Christian University President to Resign for Allowing LGBT Relationships

Azusa Pacific University, a Christian institution, has lifted its ban on LGBT relationships in its code of conduct. But the decision comes after years of previous resistance, and the school is now facing pushback over the change — particularly from one professor who says it’s now time for APU’s president to go. . .

Last week, APU’s student-run ZU Media announced that effective this fall semester, the school was dropping language from its code of conduct in order to allow “romanticized” same-sex relationships on campus.

ZU Media reported that the dialogue over the changes were prompted when student members of an underground LGBT group called Haven approached administrators about being recognized as a campus organization.

Haven was assisted in its efforts by the outside organization Brave Commons, which describes itself as “a bold and subversive Christian movement of intersectional queer glory: healing and working towards robust justice for all.”

According to Christianity Today, part of the code that was scrapped included “an eight-point statement on human sexuality that had declared: ‘homosexual acts’ (among others) are ‘expressly forbidden’ by Scripture; ‘heterosexuality is God’s design for sexually intimate relationships’; and ‘humans were created as gendered beings’ in order to be fruitful and multiply.” (Read more from “Professor Calls for Christian University President to Resign for Allowing LGBT Relationships” HERE)
