Baylor University is currently facing backlash for partnering with a progressive nonprofit organization to examine the role of homosexuality and transgenderism in churches.

The private school in Texas, which has historically held Baptist convictions, announced a new $643,000 grant from the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation that will allow them to “foster inclusion and belonging in the church” through the Center for Church and Community Impact.

The effort will fund academic research to “help us better understand the disenfranchisement and exclusion of LGBTQIA+ individuals and women within congregations to nurture institutional courage and foster change.”

“We are always so grateful for the support and encouragement of the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation for our ongoing research in assisting congregations in ministering to marginalized populations,” Gaynor Yancey, director of the Center for Church and Community Impact, said in a statement.

Megan Basham, a reporter at The Daily Wire who has focused on the subversion of evangelical institutions through leftist nonprofit grants, detailed in a social media thread that Baylor has accepted money from the Baugh Foundation for decades.

She observed that the Baugh Foundation provided the school with another grant only last year to promote homosexuality and transgenderism in local churches.

Gaynor indeed noted in the statement about the new $643,000 program that “for several years, they have assisted us with funding for research to study the inclusionary practices of congregations with people who are marginalized in numerous ways.”
