Baylor President speaks out against the SJW prayer that was said

“Like many of the attendees at one of the May 18, 2019, Commencement ceremonies, I was caught off-guard during the Benediction as this prayer is intended to focus on the graduates as they leave Baylor University and make a mark around the world, not to communicate any kind of political statement. The prayer was not scripted by anyone within the University, and I am disappointed that it has distracted from a special moment for our graduates and families attending Commencement."
“Baylor typically allows a parent of one of the graduating students to offer the Benediction during Commencement, which is what occurred in this instance. We will review our internal procedures moving forward to ensure the Benediction is offered as intended at future Commencement ceremonies.”

Proggies have this overwhelming need to inject their political beliefs in to anything and everything, mainly because at their core they're narcissistic pieces of shite.

Good to see him address it and knock it down for the crap that it was

Amen! I am really impressed with his forceful statement against the prayer.
On a side note... I wonder if the good folks at Broadway Baptist Church are about to vacate the Pulpit. That preacher is a fake and a fraud.

No, they're part of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the "moderates" (read: liberals) that broke away from the Southern Baptist Convention years ago. Which Baylor also broke away from and has more ties to CBF than anyone (Waco has more CBF affiliated churches than Dallas).

Progressives have successfully infiltrated the SBC, now.
Many of the seninary instructors are far left zealots.
Progressives will not leave any institution free of their infection.

“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.

Says who? Or would he rather Sodom and Gomorrah? Perhaps he conveniently missed that chapter

Good info, thanks. I wondered if they were not SBC or some wacked out Independent work.

Typical Baylor. Not our fault, just something that happened at a Baylor event. We will try to fix it.

There is no way someone prayed this?!

Also, nice job by the jackass of ruining the tradition of a parent simply leading a prayer. Just had to make an arse out of himself.

The preacher sounded gayer than Michael Waltrip. No way in hell he’s straight.

Yet he'd be the last guy to voluntarily give up his seat at the front.

I just sent “Pastor Freemyer” an email.

Your “prayer” at Baylor
"A planet with too many straight white men like me behind the steering wheel while others have been expected to sit quietly at the back of the bus."
Why don’t you practice what you preach and give up your position as a preacher and your job while you’re at it?
Go to hell “preacher”. Hope you ruined your life and career.

I have a kid at Baylor. What an insult to a great institution. This person should never again be allowed a platform at BU.
