HOUSTON (ABP) -- Houston Baptist University trustees voted March 10 to
allow non-Baptist Christians a minority presence on the school’s
governing board.
The move is designed to help HBU -- the only evangelical university in
the city of Houston -- reach out to Christians of many denominations in
the diverse city by providing them a voice on its governing board.
“As our nation’s fourth-largest city, Houston is enormously diverse, but
at the same time, it also has a rich Christian witness,” said President
Robert Sloan. “Cooperating in this way with the broad Christian
community in the region is absolutely vital to fulfilling the
University’s mission.”
