"The Baptist General Convention of Texas (BGCT) says it is launching a formal review of its relationship with Baylor University, which has lasted 140 years, after students organised an LGBTQ+ advocate talk as counterprogramming to a Turning Point USA event."
"BGCT executive director Julio Guarneri wrote: 'While we value the deep, historic bond Baylor University and Texas Baptists have shared for 140 years, we also remain unwavering in our commitment to teaching and emphasising a biblical view of sexuality.'"
"'It is likely that the viewpoints to be shared at this event and others may not represent either BGCT's or Baylor's official positions,' Guarneri added, indicating the potential conflict between the event and traditional views on sexuality."
