?God Doesn?t Make Mistakes?: Brittney Griner Finds Christian Support Amid Polarizing Baylor Debate

Brittney Griner had been a brilliant icon for Baylor University. She was one of the most explosive young centers during her time at Baylor. At the same time, the University also enjoyed success due to Griner’s presence, winning the NCAA championship in 2012 with an undefeated 40-0 record. Hence, Baylor’s lack of public support for their most popular alumnus comes as a big surprise to Brittney Griner’s supporters. Fortunately, amid the polarizing Baylor debate, Brittney Griner has found some support and acceptance from a faithful Christian, Greg Garrett.

?Garrett is a Baylor University professor of Literature and Culture. He recently revealed his views on the lack of words from Baylor on Brittney Griner‘s detention in Russia. In his column at Baptist News, Garrett suggested that people at Baylor needed to be more active in raising awareness about the ‘wrongful detention’ of Britney Griner. He also pointed out that apart from Baylor’s coach Nicki Collen, no one at the University was making efforts for Griner.?

Garrett also laid out in his column the dilemma that Baylor faces being a Baptist Christian university. He claimed that the institution usually is under a lot of pressure regarding LGBTQ issues. Moreover, Greg Garrett revealed that more significant efforts were being made by the donors to create a more welcoming environment for the students from the LGBTQ community.?

Furthermore, the Baylor professor also shared his take on the LQBTQ community and how he sees Griner. The devout Christian wrote,?“God doesn’t make mistakes; every human is made in God’s very image. God loves everyone; we are called to love as God loves.”

Garrett believs that everyone was created equally by God in his own image, despite the various preferences people have. He felt that everyone must love each other the way God does. Thus, Garrett felt that Baylor University needed to support Brittney Griner during the toughest moment in her life, irrespective of her personal choices.?

Garrett calls for support from the Christian community

It is heartwarming to see Griner receiving some support from the Christian community during the most horrifying time in her life. Garrett added, “My gay brother or trans sister is family; all of us should gather at the Welcome Table.”

The preacher further requested his fellow Christians to support Brittney Griner. He pointed out that many Christians have formed an opinion that Griner had “simply gotten what she deserved.” However, Garrett emphasized the need for solidarity in this tough time to bring the basketball star home.
