David Hayward - The Naked Pastor, Revealed

Divorced: Christianity

My guest today is known by many of you for his powerful cartoons and paintings related to deconstruction from Christianity. I’m speaking with my fellow Canadian, David Hayward, who is an ex-pastor turned full-time artist. David is also known as The Naked Pastor. He's been blogging about spirituality, deconstruction, and religious freedom since 2006. He is also the author of several books, including Til Doubt Do Us Part and Flip It Like This.

David participated on the Ex-Clergy Panel at CORT2021, the inaugural Conference on Religious Trauma, along with Dan Barker, Clint Heacock, and Tim Sledge.
