Excerpt:
The chaplain at a Christian university in Texas on Tuesday defended the university's decision to set aside a room on campus for Muslim students to pray, saying it was the Biblical thing do to.
The Rev. Dr. Robert Kenji Flowers, chaplain at Texas Wesleyan University and also an adjunct world religion professor there, said in an interview with The College Fix that recent controversy over the room – which is a little over 1-years-old - came as a surprise to him. Debate over the room flared after a campus news report about the room was published last month.
"Like most schools that are called Christian institutions, historically we were aligned with a particular faith tradition, but through the years that affiliation has diminished," he said. "It's a misnomer in some ways to even say it's a Christian university."
