What is up with the COG Pentecostal Seminary???One student showed me a textbook for a Pentecostal theology class this semester, it is a main textbook (MAIN TEXTBOOK!) by a well known lesbian feminist theologian. Could not believe it --- googled name myself. She was keynote speaker at lgbt conference. a main theologian in what is called QUEER THEOLOGY. She showed me another theology required book where author clearly shows his acceptance for homosexual unions. Nothing is ever qualified to show disagreement.

I have heard rumblings that a big pro-homosexual item will be on the GA Agenda next year

I hope you are WRONG Charlie. Hopefully these incidents are to 'splain what not to do.There are a lot of rules in Educating and approvals, maybe it is required to be .............. you did not list this theologian's name that wrote the book. That should not be a secret or wrong to say who wrote the book here on Acts, I would be curious Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]://shipslog-jack.blogspot.com/

Well SD Imma hoping no one would waste valuable GA time to bring it up! Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]://shipslog-jack.blogspot.com/

Just curious ... would you share the titles of the textbooks and the authors?

I'm ABSOLUTELY confident you will find that the leadership of the Seminary or any faculty member that I know would not knowingly endorse such. It would be my humble suggestion that you call PTS and speak with Dr. Vest personally or Dr. David Han, Vice President or the faculty member who is teaching the class and bring your concerns to them. I'm ABSOLUTELY confident there is another explanation and to publicly call these fine and dedicated servants out in this forum without giving anyone in authority a chance to respond is not fair. You may not have meant any harm and while your concerns are legitimate there is a much healthier way to check these things out. I sincerely ask you to make the call before you go further to injure those who may not be guilty as you have alluded to.

The broader context of that quote is within a section sub-titled, 2. Being created in the image of God means that humans find their true identity in coexistence with each other and with all other creatures.
