Queer Theology: The Podcast
The bible, every week, queered. Too often, the same seven “clobber passage” are all that’s discussed when it comes to Christian LGBTI+ lives and issues. Queer Theology boldly proclaims: we are more than what we are not. Each week, it takes a passage from the upcoming Sunday’s lectionary and shares a queer perspective on it. Their philosophy is: looking at what bible passages might say for LGBTI+ people and what LGBTI+ people might bring to passages are both important. You can subscribe to the free Podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, Overcast, and even old-fashioned email!
Pe-Churcha-Kucha
A group for people who don’t like groups. This (almost unpronounceable) group doesn’t really exist. It only has a virtual existence on Facebook, but currently has around 50 members. It’s a place to share ideas, songs, poems, links, books, prayers, pictures, anything really that inspires or nurtures a progressive, inclusive, socially just spirituality. Created by members of Durham Street Methodist community as a kind of virtual house group, it is open to any who share our values.
