Brite
rep accuses Disciples' group of bigotry The
divinity school's director of field education filed a
petition in state District Court over alleged discrimination
by a committee of the Christian Church's Southwest Region.
A top
Brite Divinity School administrator said Tuesday that
he was barred from representing Brite on a Disciples of
Christ Church regional committee to interview minister
candidates because he is gay.
Stephen Sprinkle, director of field education at Brite
Divinity School, said he was told by committee chairman
Ben Hubert that he was “polarizing students”
and would not be allowed to participate in interviews
held Jan. 12 to Jan. 14. Sprinkle said he disputed the
claim, but stayed for general meetings, which included
prayer and meals.
