President Phil Schubert and the Board of Trustees have finally spoken up with “unanimous” support for April Anthony and her position as board chair, and (presumably) board member Luke James by association. Here is what they are saying, along with our fact checks and conclusion. ✔️

What are your thoughts and impressions? 💭

April Anthony (‘89) and Luke James (‘04), both serve on the Abilene Christian University Board of Trustees, with Anthony in the Chair position. In pursuit of a moral high ground they believe is supported by Scripture, Anthony, James, and the rest of the Board continue to affirm ACU’s “sexual stewardship policy” that targets and penalizes q***r students. But the Board members seem much less concerned about a moral high ground in the area of finances.

On December 4, the Delaware Court of Chancery awarded a judgement against both Anthony and James for “egregious breaches of the duty of loyalty” when they were senior officers of Encompass Health (now Enhabit). The Court also imposed a constructive trust that will take profits from Anthony and James’ current company, VitalCaring Group, along with $1.62 million in damages and attorneys' fees, based on Anthony and James’ bad faith efforts to conceal their misdeeds, which included falsifying records, deleting evidence, and manipulating communications through lawyers. According to the Court, both “took great pains” to hide their “deceit.”

So since Scripture has a few things to say about fair and ethical financial responsibility, maybe the Board can work on a “financial stewardship policy” for themselves. Or maybe President Phil Schubert can invite them to host “Holy Finances Week” in chapel. After all, in a February 2021 ACU Alumni News, Schubert said that, “April embodies our mission.” Is that mission … getting extremely rich by lying and stealing? 🤔 Just checking.

“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” – Matthew 19:24

You are loved. You are valuable. You are fully accepted. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You have a place in God's kingdom.

No election can change your God-given inherent worth. Today and always, may the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🩵🤍

Many of us were raised in communities that believed that you could not be a Christian AND vote for Democrats, and that rhetoric seems to intensify with each election.

However, Jesus did not come to Earth to increase his political power or control. He did not come to defend religious traditions. He did not try to enforce biblical rule. He did not disparage those who were different from him. Instead, he angered religious leaders by rejecting their rigid interpretations of Scripture, eating with society's outcasts, and encouraging us to love our neighbors, welcome foreigners, take care of the poor and orphans, put down our swords, and give away our riches.

Wildcats for Inclusion is made up of Abilene Christian University alums and Christians who live all over the country, and we wanted to remind you that you can vote blue without shame, embarrassment, or betraying your Christian beliefs. God’s heart is for the vulnerable and marginalized, the immigrant and the imprisoned, the poor and the sick. And we are called to love as God loves.

“But if anyone abuses one of these little ones who believes in me, it would be better for him to have a heavy boulder tied around his neck and be hurled into the deepest sea than to face the punishment he deserves!” - Matthew 18:6, TPT

In a controversial commencement speech, The Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker rattled off a litany of offensive remarks. Pride Month was referred to as “the deadly sin of pride.” He accused some Catholics of “pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America.” Women who just received degrees were told that it was a “diabolical lie” that they could find any fulfillment in careers, as their highest calling is in being a “homemaker.” WFI founding member Tiffany Torres Williams (’05) responds in this op-ed on CNN.

I graduated from Abilene Christian University in 2005, and I was anything but surprised by the content of Butker’s speech, wrties Tiffany Torres Williams.
