Ep. #97: Queer Clergy Talk About Love, Sex & the Bible, Part 2

Coming Out Late

In this Part 2 Episode, Robin picks up the conversation with the group of queer clergy-folx from her FB Group, “Coming Out Late”. Robin recorded four hours of epic clergy conversations, two of which you heard in Episodes #75 & #76 back in March. The final two hours of those recordings are here, in Episodes #96 and #97.

• Patriarchy, language, pronouns and “mansplaining”..
• “Doubt the defaults”, Rev. Eyde Mabanglo
• What is “monotheism? According to Google, monotheism is the belief in the existence of one god, or in the oneness of God.
• What are “clobber passages”, “clobber texts”? “Although the Bible does not mention sexual orientation, there are a few passages where a biblical author mentions sex between people of the same gender. These texts are often termed the “clobber passages” due to the way they have been wielded against queer people…”. (Source: www.wordmadequeer.com)
• The idea of “transactional preaching versus transformational preaching.
• Should we be saving the church?
• Knowing your queer black history: Bayard Rustin, Audrey Lorde, Pauli Murra; knowing that Compton Cafeteria came before Stonewall, etc.
