A North Carolina state university has put out a list of approved "gay-friendly" churches for faculty and students raising concerns by at least one professor that taxpayers are inadvertently involved in "telling people where to go to church."
An office with the University of North Carolina's Wilmington campus began circulating the list late last month. It was compiled as part of a broader guide to gay-friendly businesses, nonprofits, health centers and other services in the area.
The "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex and allied students, faculty, staff, and alumni" office described the document as a "local resource guide" for "lgbt staff and faculty." The head of the sociology department later suggested professors share it with their students.
But Mike Adams, a criminology professor on campus who went from atheist to Christianity, said the university should not be in the business of recommending churches.
"It's just amazing," he told FoxNews.com. "It appears to me to be the height of not just silliness, but government waste."
In the guide, the office listed five Wilmington churches as "gay-friendly religious organizations." Included on the list were a Presbyterian church, a Lutheran church and a Unitarian Universalist congregation.
The LGBT office on campus could not be reached for comment.

Unfortunately that is not the case. Mainline churches that have agreed to ordain homosexuals have taken to redefining sinful behavior. They do not require homosexuals to abstain from their “lifestyle” so long as it is in “a loving and committed” relationship. These mainline churches ceased to believe in the Word of God long ago. I would agree that the church should accept sinners looking for forgiveness...but what they’ve done is to accept the sinner and told the sinner they don’t need forgiveness. That my friend is the road to damnation.
Boy I was scared I thought they was talking about my Tarheels.. back to sleep sweet dreams.
‘gay friendly’??
oh, you mean Christ-adverse ... gotcha
