Truett Seminary Recruits Queer-Affirming Pastors To Lecture You About Racism.

A panel discussion at Baylor/Truett's "Racism In The World Church" 2024 conference was composed of pastors at affirming churches (at least 2 of 3 speakers).

Sean Palmer, an Enneagram guru and teaching pastor at Ecclesia Houston, proudly declared in a 2018 speech that his church has accepted transgender individuals and same-sex couples into membership.

Timothy Peoples is senior pastor of Wilshire Baptist Church, which advertises its affirming stance and is a member of the Association Of Welcoming + Affirming Baptists and participated in Dallas Pride last year.

(The third panel member, famed musician Jimi Calhoun, doesn't really counter-balance the other men's stances, as his "church," Bridging Austin, appears to just be him, his wife, and a friend who have streamed a handful of brief "online liturgies" and held "meetups" advertised as "Taizé Contemplative Services" in the past few months.)

At the end of their conversation, titled “Black Pastors In White Spaces,” Palmer alludes to the objection of authors like Neil Shenvi to critical social justice. He *agrees* that adopting critical theory in regards to race will inevitably lead to compromise on "a whole constellation of other issues and topics that I also have to treat similarly."

Introducing them is Greg Garrett, the Baylor professor who recently went viral for condemning author J.K. Rowling's rejection of transgender self-identification.
