Stunned ministry leader sounds alarm after christian college cancels his event
The head of men’s ministry Promise Keepers is alleging a private Christian university cancelled its event after the organization released a statement “reaffirming its support for the Biblical, biological, sexual identity of male and female, man and woman, in the context of marriage.”
Ken Harrison, CEO of Promise Keepers, told CBN’s Faithwire his organization’s “Daring Faith” event series was slated to kick off at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, this September until the school reportedly decided to halt the event. “Two days before tickets were supposed to go on sale, I get this little … email that says, ‘Due to recent information, we realize our values don’t align with your values’ or something to that effect ‘so we can’t do the event here,'” Harrison said. “I’m like, ‘But we have a signed contract, we spent money on this. What do you mean?'”
He said he spoke with one of the vice presidents at the school last week to try and get some clarification. Harrison has no interest in litigating the issue in court, though believes he could do so. That said, he asked the dean to explain the cancellation. As it turns out, Promise Keepers had recently put out a statement on human sexuality, which is the centerpiece of consternation over the matter.
“They said it was the statement we put out a week before on pride,” Harrison said. “[At] Promise Keepers, we see as one of our roles is helping men understand how to … respond to the times, so we put out a thing very basic [statement].” The nonprofit leader said the proclamation affirms there are “two genders created by God, that He forgives all sinners who come to Him, that marriage is between a man and a woman.”
Harrison said this biblical statement ended up leading to the cancellation. Despite a positive conversation with the vice president, he felt compelled to speak out after purported silence from the school. “I went into this wanting peace, so we had a great conversation … she said she’d prayed about the conversation all day and was really pleasantly surprised by how uncombative I was,” he said. “I said, ‘We have to release a statement.”
Listen to him explain why he’s speaking out.
