Ep.87 - We’re Accepting But Not Affirming - Really? w/ Meka & George
Description
In the current climate of controversial debate regarding the church's response to same sex relationships, the intuitive and considered compassionate response from traditional churches has become; 'We’re accepting but not affirming'.
In this week's episode Theology for the Curious are in honest conversation with special guests Meka and George. Together they will explore how the church connects (or doesn’t) to the gay community. How does a gay person feel stepping into church for the first time? What are the hidden danger signs? What does accepting really mean if it's not affirming? And what does truly affirming really look like?
This episode offers an open and honest response to church and Christian’s from the perspective of those within the LGBTQIA+ community.
