Professor Forced out at Baptist Seminary for Sharing Biblical Views on Sexuality and Sex Abuse

I was asked by many readers of our story to share the entire statement. Here it is:

Dallas, Texas – A prominent professor at Southwestern Baptist has been dismissed from the well-known seminary for his position on same-sex relationships and his advocacy for victims of same-sex abuse. Professor Robert Oscar Lopez, who is formerly gay and an abuse survivor, has written multiple books on the topic including and The New Normal: The Transgender Agenda.

On November 29, 2019, Lopez received written notification that his position was eliminated in the undergraduate program at Southwestern. This was after three meetings with the provost, Randy Stinson and four meetings with the dean of the college, Michael Wilkinson.
