Repent America Questions University's Welcome of Homosexual Activists
The leader of a Philadelphia-based Christian group says a private Christian university in Pennsylvania seems to be embracing homosexuality, and he believes the school is on the verge of abandoning the very biblical principles on which it was founded.

Recently the group Soulforce brought its "Equality Ride" bus tour to the campus of Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania. The intention of the homosexual group's tour was to "confront" colleges that bar homosexual students from enrollment.

While the young homosexual activists were on the Eastern campus, members of the group Repent America (RA) attempted to pass out literature to students regarding what the Bible says about homosexuality. University officials, however, ordered the Christian group to leave the premises.

RA's director, Michael Marcavage, says the school appeared to be embracing the homosexual agenda while claiming to hold Christian beliefs. "It was a very grievous situation," he contends. "Many of the students had no problem with the Equality Ride's lies."

No doubt if Repent America ever "embraces homosexuality," their naughty parts would get all inflamed and tingly. ... Silly fundies! :eyes:

1. Actually, Soulforce puts out a really good phamplet about what the Bible..
really says about homosexuality. Battle of the Gay Bible Phamplets! The Soulforce phamplet is one of the best-written arguments I've read.

2. I'll have to check that out.
I've never been a big fan of Mel White or SoulForce (and thus my view of the Equality Ride have been a bit jaundiced by association), but I'd be interested in taking a look at one of the pamphlets.
