Breakout Sessions Block 3

Description

As the Queer movement progresses within our context, less and less are we bombarded by secular defenses against queerness. Now, the movement is increasingly having to navigate the world of faith and specifically Christianity. This discussion-based workshop will cultivate the tools to effectively and nonviolently navigate such a conversation. We will graze over explanations of the clobber passages, and spend most of our time reclaiming the biblical text and strategies for connecting with someone of a deeply biblical mindset. The hope is that each young adult, no matter where they find themselves on ideas of faith, will be empowered to engage the religious folk in our communities effectively with burning out.
