The front gate at Samford University. A campus minister at Samford University turned away Presbyterian Church and Episcopal Church college chaplains that asked to be included in a recent campus ministry fair because the two denominations have stances supporting same-sex marriage, according to the founder of SAFE Samford, an LGBTQ rights group.
After Vaughn shared plans to attend the event on social media, Collette received a call from Samford University Campus Pastor Bobby Gatlin “uninviting” her to the event, Blalock said. The Rev. Kelley Hudlow, a spokeswoman for the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, who has worked with the Birmingham Campus Ministry of the diocese, based at Trinity Commons near the UAB campus, said their ministry was not allowed at the event.
Hudlow said there are students, faculty and staff at Samford who are Episcopalians. “Through most of the 30 years that we’ve done ministry, we could see that there has been theological diversity between the Episcopal Church and the religious tradition that is at Samford,” she said. “That adds a richness to the ministry that happens on campus.”
