The promotional flyer for the event claims that the 'murders' of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and other African Americans are the consequences of a 'white supremacist system grounded in Christian history, texts, ideas, and institutions.'
(LifeSiteNews) — Villanova University near Philadelphia is set to host a lecture by a Black lesbian LGBT activist on “the end of white Christian America.”
Naomi Washington-Leapheart, an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, is scheduled to speak at the Falvey Library on Wednesday, March 29 from noon to 1:30 p.m. The school’s Center for Peace and Justice Education and the Theology and Religious Studies department are co-sponsoring the talk.
A promotional flyer for the event, which is titled “A Womanist Path to Ending White Christian America,” claims that the “murders” of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and other African Americans are the consequences of a “white supremacist system,” one that is “grounded in Christian history, texts, ideas, and institutions.”
It goes on to ask: “Is Christian faith possible apart from anti-Blackness? In this session, we will explore this question as we contemplate the meaning of the end of ‘White Christian America.’ We will study the liberative possibilities found in womanist theology, a discourse developed by Black women.”
The conference is only the latest instance of Villanova’s wholehearted embrace of social justice ideology. In 2014, the school featured a lecture on “moving beyond the gender-binary” during its “LGBTQ Awareness Week.” That same year, Jill Biden delivered the commencement address. Meanwhile, pro-abortion former mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg spoke at graduation ceremonies in 2017. The Vagina Monologues have also been held on campus.

Tell her to get the h*ll out of that Roman collar and stop appropriating my culture.
Am I correct in suspecting that this college is a jesuit college?
I had a friend who taught there as an adjunct for some years but when they finally had a tenure-track position in his specialty, they hired someone else. He died much too young of cancer.
The great Jim Croce was an alumnus--he was killed in a plane crash when only 30.
St. Paul probably had people like her in mind when he wrote I Timothy 2.12.
ALL races are represented in Christianity.
I didn’t post that.
Hey, I take that as a personal insult. I’m a Catholic.
If you got got a problem with a particular catholic than deal with that person but zip it when it comes to painting us all with a broad brush.
She will have a much more difficult time dismissing Black American Christian culture. It is deeper, stronger, and much less accepting of homosexuality.
.
It’s funny that she thinks a bunch of deviants can maintain what white Christian males built.
The report in addition to telling you something about the speaker also manages to tell you something about the denomination - the United Church of Christ. That the speaker can be representative of that denomination does make for a positive note about it.
Sadly, the Catholic church is no longer Christian, and the United Church of Christ never has been.
What the Hell is wrong with Villanova? It used to be a very respected school.
