LGBTQIA+ in the Church
Faith Adjacent
The Importance of Lived Experience in Conversations
"This is a wild, crazy conversation too," Evan says. "Just having this conversation in the tone that we're having this conversation is a privilege of being straight" The episode also includes an explanation of what letters mean and how they relate to each other.
In this latest episode, we learn how to be suspicious of our certainty as we discuss LGBTQIA+ in the Church. Join Knox, Jamie, Erin, and Evan as we explore our own journeys with Church and the LGBTQIA+ community. We’ll define terms, explore the clobber verses, and casually look at the past 2,000 years of sexuality in the Church. What does it look like to hold something openhandedly, and is there a limit to how much one should talk about hanging meat? You’ll have to listen to find out!
