H. Adam Ackley, Transgender Theology Professor, Asked To Leave California's Azusa Pacific University

What is Transgender Theology?

That actually does explain a lot of Azusa’s theology.

I’m trying to imagine some of my theology professors doing the same thing…

Ackley was born a “Heather” and is now living as a H. Adam.

Diversity event at work this quarter:

• I knew I could not handle it “live” in the training room and so I dialed in (wise plan)
• A U speaker on Transgender people and issues
• Starts with a questionnaire (15 questions)
• Q1: What gender do you identify?
• Q2: Why?

I was IM‘ing a co-worker … we could barely contain ourselves.

I “multiplexed” during the remainder (read: browsed the Internet)

“People assumed that I’ve done something, some sex act,” he said. “I’m not violating any sexual conduct and it’s embarrassing that it’s implied. I live a very chaste life.”

But it’s ok for her to get a divorce because her husband wants her to stay a woman, which constitutes “Christian transphobia.”

Seems to me that even if “transgendered identity” is one of the consequences of the Fall, her voluntary marriage vows trump her involuntary biology.

I have a relative who works at APU, and he feels like the press and the professor have misrepresented the school’s response. Their primary motive is not to save their donor base. She doesn’t really have a contractual leg to stand on, and I think she knows it.

you’re related to Heather. What do you say at the next family gathering?!

Because…I was “born this way”? (Yes, I’m referencing the Lady Gaga song title here intentionally. This will probably be the only time in my life I ever intend to reference Lady Gaga positively.)

Wow. I guess this is what I miss by not working at major companies these days.

• Q1: What gender do you identify?
• Q2: Why?

Still waiting on Jim Peet’s response to these two difficult questions…

Q2 …. had to do with my “unpresentable parts [that have] greater modesty” (1 Cor 12:23)

And no one confuses me with being “a Pat”
