Most certainly, grace and truth are not mutually exclusive. However, the line can be blurry sometimes.
This week Belmont University, the university from which I obtained my Master's degree, has come under some scrutiny for decisions that have been made recently. It seems as if a coach who wanted to share her sexual preference and decision to mother a child with her team has led to her being "run-out" by athletics department administrators. We don't know exactly how it happened, but the result was that the coach has decided to resign with no further explanation. The story from The Tennessean is here. The question of whether or not she was already thinking about resigning due to having a child has been brought up, and is a fair question. We know the media loves to blow things up, but I think this is a good case to bring up some discussion on the topic...so look at my questions below and let me know what you think!
Belmont has implemented policies based on Biblical truths, and so by allowing this coach to share her sexuality with her players, is the school condoning a choice that is in opposition to their policy? Or does this just reflect a calloused, judgemental administration that has failed to show love and grace?
