(Baptist Press) Baylor University’s Board of Regents approved a resolution Friday (May 14) that paves the way for an officially recognized LGBTQ student group on campus while attempting to reaffirm its commitment to a traditional, biblical perspective on homosexuality and marriage.
Describing a “challenging situation,” the resolution said the regents remained committed to “core commitments of our Christian mission,” including: “the biblical understanding that sexual relations of any kind outside of marriage between a man and a woman are not in keeping with the teaching of Scripture;” “the dignity and worth of all, regardless of sexual orientation of gender identity;” and “providing a welcoming, supportive educational environment based on civility and respect for all.”
