Open the doors & let them in ...why not?One of our former youth is a recent Lee grad & she told us all about the hidden gay issues at Lee & about certain staff members who live compromising lifestyles. The students know whats going on & most of the staff do as well, so why hide the whole thing? Accept the obvious & move on.Keep it a strong biblically based school with high expectations for most of the graduates & minister to those in the gay community.It's never ever never ever going to go away so rather than shutting down & closing the door on ministry, open the doors & attempt to minister to them with love. What message do you send if you close the doors all because we can't allow them to live openly on campus. They already attend Lee, live nearby or live on campus & from what I've learned it's not all in the closet as some would like to think. Make the adjustment in policy to student conduct during school hours that recognize our Christian heritage. If this were a muslim school it would be well understood that these types of things would not be tolerated & the US Government would back off most likely. Since it seems we lack the guts to confront this as a society then we're faced with three options.1. Close the school2. Personally fund the school to help underwrite our future CoG ministry leaders. (never gonna happen)3. Accept the governmental LGBT policy, keep the funds rolling in, allow gays to attend w/out prejudice & minister to those who are struggling with the lifestyle. Questions I have:1. is there any type of ongoing ministry to the LGBT student community at Lee as of right now? If not why not?2. are we called by God to raise up the next generation of ministry leaders or are we operating Lee for a financial gain? If we're called by God then God will fight our battles but if it's all about the money then get the ink ready & roll out the rainbow rug Empty nest syndrome is for the birds!Email me at:
