A Christian university in Nashville is under fire for canceling a Promise Keepers event after the evangelical group released a statement restating its support for traditional biblical views of sexual identity and marriage.
According to a news release from Promise Keepers, the school’s “representatives cited a conflict in values” as the reason for canceling a “Daring Faith” event slated for the school in September.
Part of the statement on marriage and sexuality read, “As fathers, husbands, grandfathers, and young men — we see the dangers of gender ideology and the harm it causes.”Belmont University was for 56 years affiliated with the Tennessee Baptist Convention but dropped that connection in 2007 and now advertises itself as a “Christ-centered” school.
Representatives of the school did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and Promise Keepers said they have not heard back from Belmont on why the event was dropped. A spokesperson for the men’s group said CEO Ken Harrison was not available for comment Monday.
