Baylor University Prayer Denounces “Straight White Men” FROM TODD STARNES: “God, give them the moral imagination to reject the old keys we are trying to give them to a planet that we are poisoning by running it on fossil fuels and misplaced priorities – a planet with too many straight, white men like me behind the steering wheel while others have been expected to sit quietly in the back of the bus,” the minister prayed.

Did you notice the cheers from the crowd?

A friend from Get Religion sent me a link to an exclusive story about the prayer written by Rod Dreher, a fine writer for The American Conservative.

“THIS IS APPALLING,” DREHER WROTE. “WHOEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED THAT ‘STRAIGHT WHITE MEN’ WOULD BE DENOUNCED IN PRAYER AT A BAYLOR UNIVERSITY GRADUATION CEREMONY? I WONDER HOW MANY STRAIGHT WHITE MEN ARE BAYLOR DONORS? I WONDER HOW MANY STRAIGHT WHITE MALE AND FEMALE PARENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THIS SIGNAL, AND LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR THEIR CHILDREN’S CHRISTIAN COLLEGE EDUCATION?”

With all due respect, why is it just not called “exercise”? I believe the positions used have their names based on the yoga religion. Why is this?

I am a Christian also and would not want to participate in anything related to yoga. I do not believe the spiritual aspect can or should be ignored.

[Maudeen]

Blasphemy! He needs to be defrocked.

• Dan Freemyer, Pastor of Missional Engagement
  Dan began working at Broadway in 2001.
  
  
  Dan appreciates the ways worship, missions, and ministry are inextricably intertwined at Broadway. He says, “I love being present when people discover their passion for a particular ministry, people group, or mission. My greatest personal enjoyment and sense of calling lately comes from planning for and leading in worship.”
  
  Reflecting on “There’s more than one way to be a Baptist,” Dan explains, “If the historic Baptist practices of priesthood of the believer, autonomy of the local church, and protecting religious liberty for all faiths are actually embraced, then they inevitably result in a profound appreciation for and celebration of our diversity. This allows for believers with varying interpretations of scripture, political convictions, and other differences to still swim in the same baptismal waters.”
  
  Dan spent his early childhood on a farm in rural Missouri until his family moved to North Texas when he was a teenager. He earned an undergraduate degree in social work from Baylor, Master of Social Work from the Carver School of Church Social Work, and Master of Divinity from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY (before the fundamentalist takeover). He is currently a Doctor of Ministry student at Brite Divinity School.
  
  Dan is married to Diane and has two children, Zane and Lizzy. Dan enjoys running, especially on trails, and sometimes for insanely long distances. You will often find him cheering on the Texas Rangers with good friends.
  
  
  
  
• " We are fully affirming of women in lay and professional ministry roles and fully inclusive of LGBTQ+ persons.
  
  Today, Broadway continues to be fully committed to the people of Fort Worth, providing uplifting worship to God, spiritual and physical sustenance, and sanctuary to all.
  
  We are affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Alliance of Baptists"

There are no “fossil fuels.” Oil is a renewable substance constantly created deep in the Earth.

The libtards want you to believe the “old oil” idea because it helps sell the worldview that the Earth is billions of years old instead of thousands of years old. Once you get people to believe in the “old Earth” nonsense, it’s easier to pretend there is evidence for human evolution. The UNPROVEN SPECULATION called the theory of Evolution was invented to lead people away from God and toward Communism.

I’m sure that your pastor is “the genuine article.” To work for the “salary” you state, he has to be there for the right reasons. I am on SSA, and I had high-paying jobs my entire life. I get less than $30,000. a year, so even if your pastor was able to tack on the best number available from SSA, he’d still not be living on easy street.
You’re lucky to have him!

[Mr Rogers]

I agree. I’ve been in churches (moved around a lot, military) where pastors seemed to be working for money. Our pastor isn’t perfect. No one is. But he’s very sincere. That puts him in the top 50% of pastors I’ve met.

And unlike a lot of pastors, he’s worked a wide variety of blue collar jobs in his life. He knows what is it like to be a security guard on night shift, for example. And what it is like to lose your job when another company buys out the one you are working for. Wish more pastors had real life experience.

“The “Pastor” Freemyer’s of the world are why I gave up on organized religion when I was in my twenties.”

That was about the time I started adhering my own creed: Avoid costly middlemen and deal directly with God.

This is retarded and gay...mostly due to pot

Many practical disciplines that Christians of today use as a matter of course have pagan past associations.

I have no doubt I am more learned on this subject than a thoughtless legalist like you.

[SaveFerris]

I'm convinced people like this will welcome the Antichrist.

[Gene Eric]

Yet another psychotic jackass reinforcing the concern that Satan is in the house.

Good find, RWC.

[Gene Eric]

Agreed.

In my estimation, Rome has less than 20 years to decide its fate. That’s effectively one generation.

[trebb]

Too funny - straight white men and fossil fuels have done more for the progress of FReedom and prosperity than anything else....

The guy’s twitter account is “protected” so I can’t send this to him too....

[Vaquero]

People do Calisthenics, ride bikes, walk, run/jog, pump Iron, Take Asian martial arts classes(are they anti Christian). All exercises whether you call them exercise or not.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Absolutely Bro!
This psychotic nonsense is starting to leak out into the mainstream - be wary of it.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

A good clean haircut, some simple spoken sophistries, and the typical ornate pellegrina overlapping the shoulders.

They look like lambs, but speak like dragons.

You know the type! ;)

[Roman_War_Criminal]

You are correct and wise to avoid yoga.
Folks can ignore the spiritual aspects all they want when it comes to “opening spiritual doorways” - which is exactly what Yoga teaches.

This is demonic & forbidden by the Lord.

Fortune tellers, tarot card reading, ouija boards, yoga - it’s all the same.

They ignore the warnings at their own peril. Oh well!

[liberalh8ter]

Is this a different type of Baptist Church? The ones I’ve known have been very fire and brimstone, damn the Catholics and everyone (except them) is going to burn for eternity.
