I'm not sure where to put this so it is going here.
I am sure this is touching on some things people are paranoid about but I think it is a great way go introduce the Christian worldview with these ideas.
LIBERTY ATHLETICS LAUNCHES #CREATEDEQUALLY INITIATIVE
On Friday, Liberty Athletics announced the launch of #CreatedEqually initiative to unite the athletic department and Flames Nation around a shared commitment of love, equality and unity, according to a release.
The #CreatedEqually campaign is based upon Acts 17:26, βFrom one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.β
The initiative is βan effort to make positive social changes that honor God and represent the mission of Liberty University.β

If we are all equal then can I get a scholarship to play FB? Iβd make a great TE or DT.
But I do LOVE they directed it towards scripture. Thatβs a gihugic thing. We are all equal in the sight of God

i really love Butch Jefferson. I have known him a along time and the work he did at UVA was great and he is off to a great start at LU. I absolutely love this initiative. I know it will succeed.

Pretty big opportunity to promote a non-divisive Christ centered approach to equality/justice. Hope it really catches on.

Uhhh, I didn't know I did until I saw it. I think it captures the intent behind what people mean when they say All Lives Matter without the clumsy messaging.
The silent implieds of Black Lives Matter (too) and (Without exception) All Lives Matter get both sides hung up.
Created Equally provides only one assumption and that is the Creator. I would wear this shirt with pride.

I agree completely. It tells marginalized and minority communities you are equal. That implies Black Lives Matter, Asian Lives Matter, etc without the negative connotations of All Lives Matter.

We all know the Medic is the best judge of Tight Ends. Maybe he can write you a letter of recommendation.
