Host: Amy Matheny

Amy is excited to discuss LGBT in the church with Conservative Evangelical Minister David Gushee today. He is a surprising new voice that has had a change of heart regarding the message to the LGBT community.

Guest: Conservative Evangelical Minister, Ethicist, and Author Dr. David Gushee joins Amy on the Queercast. David tells his history with the Southern Baptist Church, his ordination within the Church, his writings of different faiths, people losing their religion, and his stance on LGBT people. He has written a book, Changing Our Mind, which recounts his journey to changing his mind about LGBT inclusion in the Church.
