Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University Wake Forest University Divinity School East Texas brothers Addison and Randolph Clark, together with their father Joseph A. AddRan College (TCU) was one of the first coeducational institutions of higher education west of the Mississippi River, a progressive step at a time when only 15% of the national college enrollment was female and almost exclusive enrolled at women’s colleges. The college formed a partnership with what would become the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in 1889 and was renamed AddRan Christian University. The institution was renamed Texas Christian University in 1902, though almost immediately it was dubbed with the unofficial moniker by which it is popularly known today: TCU. A group of enterprising Fort Worth businessmen offered the university $200,000 in rebuilding money and a 50-acre campus as an inducement to relocate to their city. It also completed TCU’s nearly 40-year transition from a frontier college to an urban university. TCU was a long-time member of the former Southwest Conference (which also included Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Baylor, Southern Methodist University, Houston, Arkansas, and Rice) until that conference was disbanded after the 1995 season with the formation of the Big 12 Conference. In 2006, TCU finished ranked 2nd in the MWC football standings and defeated Northern Illinois University 37-7 in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego on December 19,2006.

You guys are ridiculous with this gay and Christian stuff. Get real. As someone who isn't religious but went to TCU, religion is not something you have to follow to go to the school. You over the top religious nuts need to get over yourselves and stop judging people. You are whats wrong with religion today.

My heart grieves that Texas CHRISTIAN University is planning on openly embracing the homosexual life style by building seperate dorms for this practice of what God calls sin. If you want to embrace the standards of the world and reject God's commands, don't call yourself a CHRISTIAN university. You must get back to the basics of the Christian faith. Read your Bible. God is very clear about what He calls sin. And you will discover that God never denies us those things that work for our good and our true joy. He only forbids those things which bring us pain, and lead to our destruction and harm. To hold to God's laws is not to be unloving to any segment of our society. Rather, it is to love them enough to try to shield them from the harm that comes to our lives when we do flaunt against God. I agree with Danny and Terry. Either live for Christ and call yourself a Christian. Or live for the ways of the world and suffer the consequences.

I read the following article. Is it true that you are openly embracing the homosexual life style? The reason homosexuals call themselfs gay is they want to hide the fact that the lifestyle is all about sex, not other "so-called reasons". They want to have sex with males, females, whatever. They want to flaunt it in God's face. There will be a price to pay and why would a Christian organization want to help them go to hell by making it appear to be OK? What are you thinking??? Texas Christian University won't provide on-campus housing for homosexual students this fall as previously planned. But in a statement, TCU's chancellor says the Fort Worth school "will maintain its long-standing commitment to the inclusiveness of all people." The DiversCity Q community was to open this fall in some campus apartments for "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender" students, as well as for heterosexual classmates who support them. Plans also were canceled for housing students based on other themes, including "patriotism" and "Christian perspectives and service." TCU, a private university with about 7,500 undergraduate students, is associated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

I agree with Terry. Remove the name Christian from your school name.

7 months ago

After reading about your housing for homosexuals, I would ask that you please remove the name Christian from your name. It is not fitting that you should drag the name Christ through your dishonorable practices. You have mercy for the un-Godly, please have mercy on the Godly and change your name. Thank you for taking the time to read this. -Terry
