Episode Notes
This week a touch of good news with a large group of clergy finally taking a stand on the right side of history and then we get further into our series on Creationism.
Stand Up and Testify
Last month, more than 370 religious leaders from around the world are calling for a global ban on conversion therapy. The declaration, spearheaded by the Global Interfaith Commission on LGBT+ Lives, also calls for an end to violence and criminalization against L.G.B.T.Q. people. “We recognize that certain religious teachings have, throughout the ages, been misused to cause deep pain and offense to those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex,” the commission said in a statement. “This must change.” https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-55326461 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/16/world/conversion-therapy-pledge.html
