Adrift from original mission, Harvard provides 'Queer spiritual care' to help students through challenges

Harvard University has a 'service' for students: students can book "queer spiritual care conversations" with an individual who is a graduate student in queer Buddhism.

The student's name is Matta Zheng, who reportedly holds the title of "Queer Spiritual Advisor" at BGLTQ Student Life at Harvard University.

Harvard's website says the advisor offers 30-minute sessions one-on-one for queer spiritual care conversations.

The site says "These conversations are open to any topic relevant to one's life and/or spiritual path, including but not limited to: gender, sex, sexuality, identity," and the list continues.

McFarland, Alex (Christian apologist) McFarland

Alex McFarland said in an interview with AFN that Harvard has changed.

“You know, it's very sad that Harvard has not only gone so far off the deep end of wokeness and political correctness, but they frankly turned heretical from their original mission statement. Harvard's original statement of purpose back in 1642 was drawn from Proverbs 2 and Psalm 119, and their original motto was ‘For the glory of Christ,’ but then their mission statement was 'Everyone shall consider as the main end of his life and studies to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life.’ What a far distance they've fallen to today."

Way beyond its roots

He said Harvard is not the Christian institution it was founded to be. 

"Ten years ago I felt like young people were standing for what I would call sexual license. Today, I would say it's just license. Period. I mean, it's just no boundaries on anything. There's, even among Christian young people, or professed Christians, there's just this idea that really ultimately in life, I can do whatever I want. Besides being chaotic and lawless, that’s unbiblical."

Campus Reform reported Harvard is not the only one; other universities offer similar spiritual care meetings for LGBTQ students.

One is the University of Southern California, which has a regularly-meeting "Queerituality" group.
