What a weird and hard and scary time it is to be a queer person, and what a confusing time for both queer people and allies to understand alike to think through the relationship between the Christian faith and queerness, when so much is being said by Christians against queer and trans people.  And yet, queer and trans and non-binary and gay and lesbian and bi Christians exist and more than arguments for our rights to exist,  more than scriptural and theological underpinning for our legitimacy and our being made in the image of God, and certainly more than our flush assimilation into the structure and life of the church as it is and has been, gay and queer and trans people have unique and important faith and unique and important vocations within the church.  We are joined by the Rev. Dr. Cameron Partridge in this week's discussion of queer ministry and vocation. Cover 🎨: @the_red_boyy ++++ Like what you hear?
