Single session event
Prereq: none

The issue of same-sex relationships has become a source of division both within society and within Christianity. Claims have been made by both sides of this debate about the meaning and interpretation of scripture and about the role of tradition in determining standards for Christian conduct. This panel discussion will focus on the experiences of Christians who have integrated their queer identity into their faith. Panelists will address their own approach to scripture and tradtion, the challenges of being queer in a Christian context and of being Christian in a queer context. There will be a moderated opportunity to pose questions to the panelists. Co-sponsor - LBGT@MIT
