Join us for an engaging and enlightening conversation with Brian G Murphy and Father Shannon T L Kearns from Queer Theology - the brave souls on a mission to make queer theology and queer sacred storytelling available to all. We journey into the intersection of queerness and spirituality, providing not only a healing balm but also a potent platform for activism. You'll discover how understanding scriptures through a queer lens can be transformative and learn about the pivotal role our identities play in interpreting these sacred texts.

Venture with us as we traverse the diverse landscapes of faith and identity within Christianity. Alongside Brian and Father Shannon, we'll learn from black, womanist, and trans theology insights, emphasizing the significance of embracing Christianity in its entirety, complexity, and liberating ourselves from limiting frameworks. Hear firsthand about their personal conversion stories and how their queer identities have widened the realm of possibilities within Christianity.

As our conversation deepens, we address why some queer individuals choose to stay within Christianity, and the ways to do so that foster health, wholeness, and life. Unveiling the enduring power of the Jesus story, the tenacity of claiming tradition, and the importance of a spiritual practice, we hope to inspire. As we express our gratitude and promote learning, we reflect on the connections we make, and the role money plays in our lives. Join us on this inspiring exploration, and come away with new perspectives and a strengthened faith.
