Welcome, Dr. Stockdale! 🌈 Rachael Kathleen

We uncover the history of resistance to homophobia in conservative evangelical churches in an eye-opening online discussion of William Stell's new book, "Born Again Q***r." What can we learn from the unheralded successes in the 1970s and 1980s as well as the more recent backlash? Go to the website at the bottom of the graphic to get more details and register.

A memorial serice is starting now for Rev. Malcolm Johnson, a minister and author in the Church of England who was an early voice for LGBTQ+ equality in the Anglian communion. Learn more about Rev. Johnson on our website, and join in the celebration of his life now at https://stmartins.digital/malcolmjohnson-1105/.

WHAT'S THE REAL STORY behind the author of a 1960 book, "Christ and the Homosexual," that proclaimed in the face of the Lavender Scare that gay people had a legitimate place in the Christian church? Meet the author of a book about the Rev. Robert W. Wood and his then-audacious assertion that crucibles of homophobia should be centers of acceptance. Sign up to hear the "story of Bob" on the LGBTQ-RAN website.

Belated congratulations to Lynne Ge**er, Siri Colum and the team at Eureka Street Productions for winning a Peabody Award for their excellent "When We All Get to Heaven" podcast. LGBTQ-RAN hosted Lynne and Siri at a webinar in December. See our discussion with them and check out the podcast:
