JESUS CAME TO EARTH FOR THOSE CAST OUT BY RELIGIOUS AUTHORITIES AND SOCIETY. WE ARE THOSE OUTCASTS. LGB youth seriously contemplate suicide at almost three times 3X the rate of heterosexual youth. (The Trevor Project) LGB youth are almost five times as likely to haveattempted suicide compared to heterosexual youth. (The Trevor Project) 5X LGB youth from highly rejecting families are 8.4 times as likely 8.4X to have attempted suicide as LGB peers who reported no/low levels of family rejection. (The Trevor Project) 40% of transgender adults reported having made a suicide attempt. 92% of these individuals reported having attempted 40% suicide before the age of 25. (The Trevor Project) After I came out as gay at 17, I hoped that by being out, I would find the other gay people around me and we would share something in common. I didn’t meet many gay friends at the time, but I did meet Christians who insisted that being gay wasn’t God’s plan for my life. These new Christian friendships led to eight years of me trying to renounce homosexuality and become heterosexual.

    CASE FOR 2021-2022 Support Q Christian Fellowship Can you imagine a world where all LGBTQ+ people are fully loved by family, church, and community, and Christians worldwide live up to their calling to be instruments of grace and defenders of the outcasts? We can. Dear Family in Christ, It is hard to believe that it has been 20 years since our community was founded as an online discussion group! What began as a small group of gay Christians conversing on a virtual message board has grown into a long-standing, vibrant, in-person and virtual family of tens of thousands of LGBTQ+ Christians, parents, and allies representing a multiplicity of beliefs, traditions, ethnicities, abilities, gender identities, sexualities, and nations. We express our most sincere gratitude to those brave souls in our community who risked and endured so much along the way, sacrificed time and resources, and created this lush, green pasture in the wilderness for us to experience safety, affirmation, joy, and ultimately, God’s divine love. Not only can we thank the leaders of this community, but those who rioted in Stonewall; those who helped make gay marriage legal in the Netherlands, in Massachusetts, and eventually the entire United States; those who taught us to look beyond just the gay and lesbian experience into the vast expanse of sexualities and gender identities that constitute the LGBTQ+ family; those who helped secure increased employment protections under federal law; those who resisted racism and structural marginalization in LGBTQ+ communities and across society; those with disabilities who have advocated for increased access in every capacity and countless other siblings in Christ.

  • Volcano in Guatemala
    The First Presbyterian Church July/August 2018 of Howard County Issue 7 Volcano in Guatemala Dr. O. Morton Harris, Jr. Volcan de Fuego erupted in Guatemala on Sunday, June 4, just seventeen days Co-Pastor before a small delegation from First Pres headed to Guatemala for a scheduled Dr. Sue Lowcock Harris visit. We knew that our partner presbytery, Union Maya Quiche Boca Costa, Co-Pastor wasn’t impacted; I’d gotten replies to my email queries the day after the Virginia Callegary eruption. The message was, “Thank you for checking on us. We’re ok, but please Director of Christian Education pray for those who are hurt, displaced or can’t find their family members.” The James Galdieri Boca Costa region is west of Volcan de Fuego, and the winds blew the ash cloud Director of Music Ministries to the east. Our partners were safe, but we saw evidence of the damage as we Caroline Smith traveled between the Boca Costa region and Guatemala City. Church Administrator Patricia Travers We didn’t see any evidence of the eruption as we drove to our hotel in Bookkeeper Mazatenango from Guatemala City, but our return trip at the end of our visit Woody Collins took us closer to the volcano. Our usual route was impassable with as much as Church Sexton 3 meters (about 10 feet) of ash covering portions of the road. Even the detour Marla Youkers didn’t take us close enough to see too much of the impact. We crossed rivers Child Care Coordinator whose courses were diverted by large rocks deposited in river beds and saw gray Kathy Moore clouds that continue to rain ash near the cone of the volcano.

To be sure, over the years I’ve collected my fair share of rainbow-themed paraphernalia, and the Glitter of Pride Past still haunts every nook and cranny of my home. That such delightful visuals have become icons of hope and joy which are synonymous with the LGBTQ+ community is nothing short of redemptive, revealing that the glory of God shines through every life lived fully and authentically. But remember: clear, sunny skies don’t produce prismatic phenomena. Only storms give rise to rainbows. I was 16 when my older sister Rosemary came out as a lesbian. Given that our parents raised us in a conservative Pentecostal church, they did not take the news well. I followed their lead, doing my best to love the sinner, hate the sin, and pray the gay away. But these tidy proverbs could only delay the inevitable reckoning for so long.

Samuel Miller, Letters on Clerical Manners and Habits, 18271 If there was one universal law of Christian megaministry, it was found in the book of Genesis: “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”2 He should not be alone. She will do him some good. In almost every spiritual empire, there was a “she.” She may be the one on the main stage, smiling into the spotlight, tell- ing a lightly worn anecdote as she sets her dog- eared Bible on the po- dium. She might be seated in the darkened first row, a wide- brimmed Sunday hat nodding up and down, or behind the stage in the green room clucking at her kids to mind their business. She could be the mother, silvered but stately, the matriarch of a charismatic son and the symbol of her bygone generation.

    GUIDE RELATIONAL LGBTQ+ COLLEGE STUDENTS Lorae V. Bonamy designed and edited by Q Christian Fellowship 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 003 Overview 004 Introduction 006 Am I LGBTQ+? 007 LGBTQ+ Definitions & Identities 013 What Does the Bible Say About Being LGBTQ+? 016 Sexual Ethics 019 Putting Principles Into Action: LGBTQ+ Theology 022 Shame, Sexuality, & Self Care 029 Navigating LGBTQ+ Policies at Non-Affirming Universities 031 Finding Community in College 035 The Beginning of Wisdom 038 Resources 2 OVERVIEW For many, college is an incredible season of self-reflection, personal development, and academic growth. College can also be emotionally, spiritually, and physically challenging, as students transition from their teens into adulthood. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ+) college students often face additional challenges as they discover or further develop their sexual and gender identities in a new environment. Often, these challenges are more difficult when an LGBTQ+ student has grown up in a conservative Christian environment that at best ignores, and at worst condemns, LGBTQ+ “lifestyles.”1 Many students wrestle with their interpretation of Scripture, as well as expectations from family members, friends, and faith communities, as they begin to question who they are and who they ultimately want to be. The purpose of this guide is to support LGBTQ+ Christian college students in exploring and/or developing their sexual identity, gender identity, and personal sexual ethic by offering an inclusive and affirming interpretation of the Christian scriptures. This guide also includes practical steps for tough conversations and additional resources for further theological and personal study. 1 Pew Research Center.

    ‘PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY’: Is anything but ‘PROGRESSIVE’. APPENDIX added 12th June 2021: Second APPENDIX added 21st June 2021: Just recently I received an email from a friend who had been distressed by some exchanges he had with a member of the family circle – the exchanges concerned their views on how professing Christians should view the question of things ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender etc.’ My friend would hold to what you might term Orthodox, Biblical views on these issues and, as a result, the other family member accused him of being ‘unloving’ and, in addition, another family member who referred to what the Scriptures clearly teach on these matters was then labelled as being a ‘pharisaical witch’. The professing Christian family member who was using these ‘descriptive’ terms then informed my friend that she identifies as a ’Progressive Christian’. Included in the email sent to me was the link to a short 6+ minute video and to quote his words to me – ‘If you decide to watch it, please watch the whole thing, lest you misunderstand what he is saying’. This is the link to the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi9iCW3TdzE The reason I highlighted ‘unloving’ in red in my opening paragraph was to highlight an important point brought out in the short video, namely, that misguidedly ‘Progressive Christians’ view themselves as much more ‘loving’ than ‘Orthodox Biblical Christians’. The next point of research for me on this subject was to visit a ‘Progressive Christianity’ web site to uncover what they officially believe and

  • Training the Porous Body: Evangelicals and the Ex‐
    AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST RESEARCH ARTICLE Training the Porous Body: Evangelicals and the Ex-Gay Movement Sophie Bjork-James ABSTRACT In this article, I examine how US evangelical opposition to LGBT rights stems from a unique under- standing of sexuality and the person. As my respondents explained to me in over sixteen months of field research, evangelical rejection of LGBT individuals and practices is rooted not simply in prejudice but also in a culturally specific notion of personhood that requires Christian bodies to orient themselves to the divine. In evangelical Christianity, the body, along with its capacity to feel and communicate, is understood as a porous vessel receptive to communication with God. In contrast to a dominant idea that sexual orientations shape individual identities, sexuality within this religious world instead facilitates the movement of moral forces across individual bodies and geographic scales. Sexual desires and sexual acts are broadly understood in evangelical cosmology as communicative mediums for supernatural forces. This understanding of sexuality as a central component of moral agency shapes widespread practices of ostracism of people who identify as LGBT within evangelicalism and often leads to anti-LGBT political positions. Claiming an LGBT identity is seen as making one a distinct kind of person incommensurate with evangelical porosity. [evangelical, sexuality, embodiment, United States] RESUMEN En este artıculo,´ examino como´ la oposicion´ evangelica´ en Estados Unidos a los derechos de la comunidad LGBT proviene de un entendimiento unico´ de la sexualidad y la persona. Como mis respondedores me explicaron en mas´ de dieciseis´ meses de investigacion´ de campo, el rechazo evangelico´ a individuos y practicas´ LGTB esta´ enraizado no simplemente en prejuicios sino tambien´ en una nocion´ culturalmente especıfica´ de la condicion´ de persona que requiere que los cuerpos cristianos se orienten en sı´ mismos hacia lo divino.

  • LGBTQI Conservative Christians Undoing Gender
    GASXXX10.1177/0891243219846592Gender & SocietyMoon et al. / ALPHA, OMEGA 846592research-article2019 ALPHA, OMEGA, AND THE LETTERS IN BETWEEN: LGBTQI Conservative Christians Undoing Gender DAWNE MOON Marquette University, USA THERESA W. TOBIN Marquette University, USA J. E. SUMERAU University of Tampa, USA Sociologists studying gender have debated West and Zimmerman’s premise that “doing gender is unavoidable,” seeking to ascertain whether people can “undo” or only “redo” gender. While sociologists have been correct to focus on the interactional accomplishment of gender, they have neglected one of Garfinkel’s key insights about interaction: that peo- ple hold each other accountable to particular narratives. Neglecting the narrative aspect of doing—and undoing—gender impedes our ability to recognize processes of social change. Based on a qualitative study, we show how the movement for LGBTQI acceptance within U.S. conservative Protestant churches works to make gender not “omnirelevant” by challenging conservative “complementarity” narratives that posit two complementary, opposite sexes as a commandment preceding the Ten Commandments in time and impor- tance. We explore this movement’s ambivalent relationship with homonormativity, high- light three ways this movement resists projecting binary gender narratives into scripture, and examine how some in this movement see the pursuit of social justice as a Christian AUTHORS’ NOTE: The research for this paper was supported by Marquette University, a Joseph Fichter Grant from the Association for the Sociology of Religion, and the Self, Motivation, and Virtue Project of the Templeton Religion Trust. We are grateful to Karl Britto, Jason Bilbrey, the Tulane University sociology department, and the editors and anonymous reviewers of this paper, whose insightful comments helped us to make it what it is.
