LBGT and Christianity
Abigail Francis, Nicholas Hayes, Sean Delmore
Tue Jan 26, 06-08:00pm, W11 Main Dining Room

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

The hateful rhetoric is wrong: being queer and being Christian is not an either/or proposition! How can Christian voices aid the struggle for GLBT civil rights? How do Christians integrate their GLBT identities and their faith, and find affirming faith communities? Regardless of your own spiritual identity, how do you respond to anti-gay Christian rhetoric? Join us for a free dinner and panel discussion exploring the intersection of GLBT identities and Christian spirituality. Panelists will address their own approach to scripture and tradition, the challenges of being queer in a Christian context and of being Christian in a queer context. We will conclude with facilitated discussion that includes the panelists. All are welcome!
