| Description: Surveying contemporary LGBTQIA+ participation in mainline American Protestant denominations, this first-year seminar will consider recent congregational histories and emergent queer Christian theology that, together, form some public-square debate. Examining these phenomena in a multicultural variety of American Christian cultures, the course will privilege queer Christian voices through interactive primary sources: oral histories, site visits, and guest speakers. While homophobic and transphobic discourse in North America often has religious origins, this first-year seminar sheds light on the open and affirming ecclesial work of Christian activists. |
