A $2 million gift from a Dallas couple will be used to establish a new endowed professor chair in religious freedom at Baylor University.
Jerry and Susie Wilson’s gift will benefit Baylor’s Institute for Studies of Religion and support the university’s efforts to rally support for the preservation, protection and defense of religious freedom in Congress, according a press release.
“The Wilsons are faithful supporters of local, national and international ministries, and their overarching passion is to follow Christ, to help grow God’s kingdom on Earth and to serve the local church,” Baylor President and Chancellor Ken Starr said in the release.
Good for the Wilsons. The new chair holder might make INVENTING THE INDIVIDUAL required reading in his or her first course.
