Baylor University Receives $643K Grant To Study and Foster LGBTQ Inclusion

Founded in 1845 and claiming 16,000 students, Baylor University is the world’s largest Baptist University and also one of the oldest. Like many that have gone before, Baylor is deeply compromised despite seeking to be our theological betters.

Baylor repeatedly touts their Christian creds, but the game is nearly up. Despite affirming that “The mission of Baylor University is to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service by integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring community” and “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, they are anything but.   ...

According to a recent report in Good Faith Media:
Quote
The Center for Church and Community Impact (C3I) has been awarded a grant (of $643,401) from the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation “to foster inclusion and belonging in the church,” with an emphasis on understanding “the disenfranchisement and exclusion of LGBTQIA+ individuals and women within congregations to nurture institutional courage and foster change.”
... Several years ago, Baylor University’s Board of Regents granted the creation of Prism, the pro-LGBTQ group on campus that sponsored the aforementioned queer-sex ed course, and which has continued pushing for greater LGBTQ representation on campus. At this rate, Baylor will be fully LGBTQ inclusive in about a decade.

...   In the 1970s and 1980s, Jimmy Swaggart became a household name through The Jimmy Swaggart Telecast, a globally broadcast program that blended preaching, gospel music, and calls to salvation. At its peak, Jimmy Swaggart Ministries reached an estimated 100 million viewers and he headlined major crusades worldwide, becoming one of the biggest names in the industry. He later launched the SonLife Broadcasting Network. (SBN)

His world imploded in February 1988 when photographs surfaced of him entering and exiting a New Orleans motel with Debra Murphree, a prostitute. Murphree later told reporters that Swaggart had paid her for sexual services. The fallout prompted a widely broadcast confession on February 21, 1988, where Swaggart tearfully acknowledged unspecified “moral failings” and sought forgiveness.  ...

Despite his now-infamous teary confession, three years later, in 1991, Swaggart was stopped by police in Indio, California with another prostitute in his vehicle. She alleged that Swaggart had propositioned her for sexual acts. This was the final straw, and led many to write him off altogether. Most of his church stood by him, however.

While he apologized for propositioning a prostitute in the first incident, in the second, he told his congregation that God instructed him to keep preaching and that to anyone asking about it: “The Lord told me it’s flat none of your business.”   ...

Someone care to explain this in layman terms?

I am going to go guess that California didn't want (LA) rich folks to just move away where they could build for 1/4th the price (or less). Slip in some incentives for business and cheapo homes for the homeless... They slipped in more government jobs for inspections of homeless places.

It means that when the very wealthy were getting hit by their own policies after the fire, they pushed to get those burdens lifted - all the other poor suckers before that had to suffer the substantial consequences from those policies.
