Representing other cultures does not negate your own Christianity, the same way being a student at Baylor does not automatically make you a Baptist. As students, we represent Baylor as a Christian university as much as you, and we reflect God’s love by showing the same compassion and care to our fellow students.

Receiving recognition is a great thing, but when it’s our main motivation, it becomes a huge problem.

Baylor is most likely first and foremost known for being a Christian university — and with that comes the pressure of following Christian ideas and including religious education in its curriculum. While I think it is great for Baylor to maintain its religious traditions, I think the Chapel requirement should no longer be included in its core curriculum.
