LGBTQ student joins suit against seminary

For Nathan Brittsan, it was his own “mini dark night of the soul.” Days into his first quarter as a student at Fuller Theological Seminary, Brittsan was expelled.

He spent another six months “in limbo,” he said, trying to appeal the school’s decision.

An associate pastor at Grace Baptist Church in San Jose, part of the American Baptist Churches USA, he needed to earn his MDiv on his way to ordination. He felt called to attend Fuller, an evangelical, multidenominational graduate school in Pasadena, California.
