Duke Divinity School at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina is offering a course that explores the intersection of “queerness” and Christianity.
The course seeks to “broaden the discussion of queerness and theology for a productive intervention.” The class is titled “from Baptismal Font to Queer Theology” and awards one unit of credit.
”This course examines and excavates ‘queer’ in relationship to theology and theory,” a course description reads. “Is queer driven by identity politics, an umbrella term for sexual identity, gender identity, antinormativity politics, social locations, or is queer descriptive of something entirely different? Does queer have an agenda?”
”To answer these questions and many more, this course will seek to develop strategies for asking questions in a way that broadens the discussion of queerness and theology for a productive intervention in the discipline of constructive theology seeking to hold faithfully to the intersecting realities of church, tradition, and scripture,” the web page continues.
Duke Divinity’s mission is “to engage in spiritually disciplined and academically rigorous education in service and witness to the Triune God in the midst of the church, the academy, and the world,” according to the school’s website.
The school also offers a course titled “Queering the Old Testament” which “explores ways to interpret the Old Testament that acknowledge the diversity of gender expressions.” Another class also helps students integrate their “theological training and thinking with the study of queer theory.”
Duke Divinity previously also held a worship service along with the university’s pride student organization back in 2022 to praise the “great queer one.” The video was made private, but students were heard referring to God as a “drag queen, and transman, and gender fluid.”
Campus Reform has reached out to Duke University for comment. This article will be updated accordingly.

I spell “Sodomy” with a capital-S because it it the name of a religion.
Agree wholly. Romans 1 -- which also wraps up straight infidelity and perversion, lest one forget -- is quite specific. The only way for the Sodomy-ites to deal with this is to not only push away Roman and Orthodox faiths, but also Protestants of varying kinds in order to excise Paul's letters and thereby "forget" Romans 1..
"Pick and choose" from a scriptural source makes scripture into nothing more than a menu -- choose what you want and discard the rest. Worshiping one's genitalia is idiocy. Building one's politics on genitalia is perverse.
I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I don’t want to be on campus when the lightning bolts start flying.
What in Heaven’s name has happened to the denomination that John and Charles Wesley founded?If they can see from Heaven, I’m sure that their hearts are completely broken
May the God of Heaven save the lost souls of all of the Christian denominations that have allowed heresy and sin to enter into their midst.
Duke should come to Jesus and break away from the UMC like a lot of good church leaders in local Methodist churches did a few years ago. It's pretty close to what John Wesley himself did over two centuries ago when he set up leaders of Methodist societies in America, against the wishes of Anglican leaders in England.
What part of the word “abomination” do they fail to understand?
Most Methodist denominations these days might as well be wholly owned subsidiaries of Red China.
When gays infest your religion’s leadership, this is what happens. Meth-headists have been at it for a long time.
The intellectual language used in the course description shows where intellectualism becomes a mental illness.
Intellectual gobbledygook.
Duke “Divinity” school sounds like Wolves in sheeps’ clothing
1Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you realize that we will be judged more strictly.”
James 3:1
29I know that after my departure savage wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock. 30And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth to draw the disciples away after them.
Acts 20:29-30
Here's the "intersection": Sodomy is one of four sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.
My thoughts exactly.
Sadly.
After the traditional churches left, the UMC has gone strongly in that direction— the seminaries, even a lot of local churches. The church in my town, which has about 15 old white people in attendance on an average Sunday, now has an LGBTQ etc. support group meeting there.
Satan has gotten hold of many Protestant Churches. The one true Church founded by Jesus Christ, not Luther or Calvin, is the Catholic Church. Our doctrine has not changed in 2000 years since Jesus appointed Peter as the rock upon which he founded His Church.
Personalism comes from that institution. And it’s poisoned many churches.
but diversity is queer
I grew up in the United Methodist Church, with my home church having many pastors and summer interns from Duke. Our family finally left over a dozen years ago due to the liberalism steadily creeping into all nearly all facets of the church. This latest abomination is just one more sign that Methodist leaders don’t understand - or don’t want to understand - that bowing to blasphemy will only lead to further membership declines
