Being Queer and/or Trans in a Scary World

Brian Murphy and Fr. Shay Kearns

Friday, 12:30pm | Youth

Hang out with Brian Murphy and Fr. Shay Kearns (the founders of QueerTheology.com). Our discussion will be led by the needs and interests of the folks gathered. Maybe you want to talk about how to integrate your spirituality and your sexuality/gender identity, or how to deal with homophobic friends and relatives. Do you want to talk about self care? Coming out? The queerness of Scripture? We’ll also lead some activities about finding and telling your own story. Interactive, flexible, and safe; this is a space to come and work together to figure things out.

Shannon Kearns, Brian Murphy, Queer Theology

Queer people have more to offer the world and the church than what we are not. We have a unique way of experiencing the world and this is a gift to ourselves, the church, and theology. Do you want to move past apologetics and into a theology that is life affirming and challenging? So do we.
