Abstract

This session will focus on the often-fraught relationship between the LGBTQIA community and Christian institutions. They will examine U.S. churches that have defined inclusivity, as well as the specific scriptures that have been utilized by many to defend their statements that oppress the “other.” Lastly, we will consider a framework that offers support and resources for both allies and LGBTQIA people who may wish to seek out a new spiritual community.
