No, I was, really, in the previous post!
The God and Gays Conference will also be in Tennessee just two weeks after the Love In Action Survivor's Initiative event (wow, that state gets around!)#1 reason you should go: I'll be there, and co-leading a workshop with Darlene Bogle, she of the apology to those who have been harmed by our time in the ex-gay movement.
But really, it'd be a cool conference whether I was there or not. The speaker and workshop leader lineup is pretty amazing:
• Bishop John Shelby Spong: Ally champion, Episcopalian Bishop, author
• Rev. Dr. Mel White: Soulforce co-founder, author, rock star of reconciliation
• Peggy Campolo: Christian advocate for GLBTQ people
• Rev. Deborah L. Johnson: Mentored by Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith, author
• Darlene Bogle: ex-Exodus leader and author
• Mary Lou Wallner: Founder of T.E.A.C.H. Ministry, author, mother
And that's not a complete list of folks who will be there. It's in Nashville, August 3rd-4th, and there's also going to be entertainment, comedy, etc. Register now, and let me know if I'll see you there!
(And I have no idea what this horse has in common with the conference, except maybe you should put on your rainbow shoes and join us)
Well, no one is commenting on the horse, so let me:
ReplyDeleteMr. Ed has come back from the dead in DRAG!
Yes! There IS universal justice!
Rock on!
Mister Ed: What do you say we go out riding and pick up a couple of fillies?
ReplyDeleteWilbur Post: I'm not a horse, remember?
Mister Ed: Too bad, we could have a ball double dating.
Clearly, he was overcompensating.
Wow that's quite the line up!...
