Queering the Gospel

Saturday, 10:00am | Landing

What, exactly, is a queer gospel? Heresy or hope? Is it only for LGBTQ people or can it speak more broadly?

In this interactive workshop the founders of QueerTheology.com will share the good news of the queer gospel. It’s a gospel that speaks powerfully to marginalized people of all identities and gives hope and inspiration as we work to create a more just world. We will share stories from the life of Jesus and the early church and talk about how those stories continue to be guiding lights for the church today, and how, when they are put into conversation with queer and transgender identity, they become powerful examples that challenge and provoke.

We’ll also walk participants through how they can find their own sacred stories in Scripture and write their own theological narratives, no matter their identity.

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.
