To Be Gay Affirming (Deluxe Edition) (#205)

**This is a deluxe rebroadcast of the "To Be Gay Affirming" episode**
In this “deluxe edition” of our original episode #10 (“To Be Gay Affirming”), Samantha Perez joins Dan for a special introduction on affirming churches, what progress is being made in Christian communities around LGBTQ issues, and changes in ethical plausibility structures — that is, what ethical approaches seem reasonable given a person or community’s changing circumstances over time. Be sure to also check out Samantha and Dan’s upcoming Patreon-only episode focused on her faith and gender journey. 
ORIGINAL EPISODE DESCRIPTION:This is a tricky one, especially for those who have a genuine desire to take the Bible seriously. The argument for inclusion that J. R. Daniel Kirk presents, however, is one that I find convincing, and it is the best one of the many that I have read or heard (including by Matthew Vines, Gene Robinson, and others). Richard Hay's compassionate argument against affirmation is also presented. Many podcasts on this topic tend to focus on the emotional aspect of the issue, on the increased risk of suicide among queer teens, etc. I think those have their place, but for many Christians, we simply NEED a good argument about what to do with this stubborn text—the Bible—that really does seem to stand against homosexual activity. Daniel presents such an argument.Find an open & affirming church: gaychurch.orgMargaret Farley 60 Minutes clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sASG5kii-rIJames Brownson’s book: https://www.amazon.com/Bible-G....ender-Sexuality-Refr individual therapy with Dan in Washington State: dancoke@gmail.com
