Christian university in Michigan has told students that they are forbidden from raising money for a group that benefits homeless LGBT youth because to do so would “conflict” with the university’s “mission and practices.”

According to Blue Nation Review, students at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan wanted to hold a bake sale to benefit Fierce Chicago, a relief group dedicated to providing services to LGBT homeless youth, who make up an estimated 40 percent of kids under 18 in the U.S. who have no place to live.

The bake sale was planned by AULL4One, Andrews University’s unofficial gay-straight alliance, which boasts around 80 members, but is not allowed to advertise on campus because of the school’s affiliation with the Seventh Day Adventist Church.

1. Thing about operating a university is...

...that your students might start thinking for themselves.

Who knew?

3. Hmmm. A Christian U that doesn't have in its mission statement basic tenet of virtually all C sects

"...charity is the theological virtue by which we love God above all things ..."

" ... And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."

Gonna have to check out that mission statement...

5. But how wonderful that the kids were committed to doing this.

The meanness of the school is countered by the 80 member gay-straight alliance.
