Same-Sex Wedding Likely to End Professor's Job at Christian School
Religion News Service reports. Kuilema had previously been denied tenure because of his advocacy for LGBTQ+ causes, and his contract at the university is subject to renewal every two years.
His latest appointment expires this year, and because of the wedding, Calvin’s Professional Status Committee has recommended that he not be reappointed.
He plans to appeal the decision, but he realizes his time at the university will probably be at an end.“I was deeply disappointed by the committee’s decision,” he told Religion News Service. “I love Calvin University.
I love working here. I love our mission. And I think it’s important to say that I did what I did because of that mission.”Calvin is affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church, which opposes same-sex marriage.
