This episode explores points of conflict and areas of collaboration between affirming churches and those neighboring faith communities that might not agree on human sexuality and gender. How do these communities find each other, come into conversation, or not with each other? The Rev’d Claire Brown and The Rev’d Whitney Kimball Coe discuss observations from Rev. Brown’s research and visits to LGBTQ+ affirming churches in the rural South. This research and these stories have been collected by Brown, an Episcopal priest in rural Tennessee.
Host Whitney Kimball Coe is the director of the Rural Faith Initiative, a project of the Center for Rural Strategies.
