LGBTQ Believers Part III - a podcast by Tori s Teen Talk

In August, 2014 The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry’s  African-American Roundtable and Many Voices hosted the Souls a’ Fire Conference focusing on the next generation of Black Queer Theology.  The conference encourages young scholars in their current work and seasoned theologians and preachers as they explore the intersections of African-American culture, the church and LGBTQ identity. As a follow up to CAN WE TALK FOR REAL’s “Black LGBT Believers” series which aired in May, CWT4R cohosts Teresa Adams, Ina Anthony and Michelle E. Brown will once again be joined by Rev. Roland Stringfellow (Detroit) and Rev. Anthony W. Sullivan Jr. (Chicago) as well as Rev. Gwen Thomas (Atlanta) to continue the conversation.Finding solace and strength in religion, Black LGBTQ Believers often find themselves at odds with the very faith communities they were born and raised in. Besides sharing their personal story, they will talk about the safe harbor LGBTQ churches provide, how to build more inclusive and supportive communities of faith outside the LGBTQ community, and how to remain strong/be agents of change in the face of attacks against the LGBTQ community.Rev. Roland Stringfellow is Senior Pastor of Metropolitan Community Church in Ferndale, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit). Rev Anthony W. Sullivan, Jr. serves as a Regional Consultant for the United Church of Christ HIV/AIDS Network, Inc. (UCAN) in Chicago, Illinois.Rev. Gwen Thomas is currently the Executive Director at the S.H.E.
