Fuller Seminary, one of the largest evangelical seminaries in the US, is making waves in the evangelical Christian community after reaffirming the school’s historic position on marriage while leaving room for Christians to have other beliefs.

“After several years of consultation, feedback and dialogue, the Board of Trustees reconfirmed the institution’s commitment to its historic theological understanding of marriage and human sexuality – a union between a man and a woman and sexual intimacy within the context of that union,” said Presidential Chair David Emmanuel Goatley in a statement on Fuller’s website. “At the same time, we acknowledge that faithful Christians – through prayerful study, spiritual discernment, and lived experience – have come to affirm other covenantal forms of relationship.”

“How wishy washy can Fuller Seminary get!” responded Ken Ham, founder of Answers in Genesis, on X.
