I was seriously considering taking a theology/religion degree and looked at Fuller as well as (the openly liberal) Graduate Theological Union. In addition to looking into their programs and faculties, I checked their campus activities. GTU was having some sort of big lesbian sex celebration or speaking/instructional session... and now Fuller is approving the operation of a homosexual outfit on its campus.
I’m sorry but I really feel that this stuff does not belong in church or at a seminary or religious studies college where most of the students are trying to learn more about our Judeo- Christian faith tradition (and some of them are considering clerical callings).
First of all, I doubt that figure of "only six." The Letters of Paul alone probably have twice as many references to to homosexuality and sexual immorality.
Besides, how many times does this person need to be told? Apparantly more than "six."
One assumes that of there's an "alcoholism" group on campus, it's--- like AA--- against alcoholism. If there's a "drug" group on campus, it's helping people get freed from the bonds of drug addiction.
Presumably there have always been people at Fuller who were struggling with an un-asked-for sexual attraction to others of the same sex. Is there any indication that this group is going to be different from AA in terms of mission? In other words, any indication that these students actually advocate and valorize the disorder they suffer from?
In your area...
You might want to try — Biola University - Talbot School of Theology instead.
The Master’s Seminary is even more conservative.
“I was shocked, absolutely floored,” she wrote about the ethics course, “to learn that the Bible only explicitly references homosexuality six times in both testaments combined. What!?!? How had no one ever told me that?
Once is sufficient, hon. God doesn’t need to repeat Himself.
I wonder how many times God told Adam not to eat the forbidden fruit...
My Ministry Band practices at John Knox Theological Seminary in Ft Lauderdale. (One of its founders was Dr. D. James Kennedy)
They seem pretty solid, albeit very Calvinist.
That seems a little far away from CA, though.
A long read - but worth it - imo...

There is NOTHING Christian about Fuller.
At the risk of getting piled on, I see no appreciable difference in any of those grads.
Okay, that's funny, but true.
... And rick warren. So liberty seminary admitted an openly gay student? Well that’s the end of them. Will let everyone in our church know. Wow...
May be a bit harsh, but maybe not.
Was thinking of applying to pursue a master’s in Biblical languages through Fuller. Not now.
I’ve read Mr. Lee’s excellent piece, and posted it in several forums.
I’d support Liberty admitting such a student, just as I’d support Liberty admitting any other student—I happen to know a few of those hetero students are not virgins, nor do they commit to chastity. On the other hand, I would not support making any such group an official part of the community roster.
+1
I also highly recommend Master’s seminary also. Our pastor went there and he is an excellent expositional preacher.
In beautiful downtown La Mirada.
