Back to the (Queer Christian) Basics

In this episode…

• this month at Queer Theology, we are going “back to the basics” of what it means to be Christian, what it means to be a queer person of faith, and what it means to queer theology
• Fr. Shay’s difficulty in finding resources for LGBTQ Christians who left conservative/fundamentalist Christianity but wanted to stay faithful
• Questions that we asked ourselves — and questions we continue to get asked — about the intersections of queerness, being a progressive person of faith, and Christianity
• How Brian experienced Christianity before coming out
• “The First Crack”
• A Guide to Recovering from Fundamentalism
• What changed that caused Brian’s faith to grow and flourish
• Asking questions of progressive, queer Christianity about salvation, original sin, resurrection, etc.
• If you have questions you’d like us to cover, email [email protected]
• If you want to go deeper, join us in Sanctuary Collective
• Keep an eye out for Resurrecting Faith, a book about how to do the work of building a faith that is life-giving and holistic
