LGBTQ+ & Christianity: Reclaiming Scripture Through Love
For too long, certain Bible verses—often called the “clobber verses”—have been weaponized to harm, reject, and condemn the LGBTQ+ community. This powerful series uncovers the truth behind those passages. Each week, we begin by examining the literalist interpretations that have caused pain, then shift the lens to a contextual reading grounded in love and acceptance. Through historical insights, exploration of Greek and Hebrew language, and an understanding of the cultural values of the time, we reveal the deeper meaning of these often-misunderstood scriptures. Perfect for congregations beginning or deepening their Open and Affirming (ONA) journey, or for anyone seeking a more compassionate, informed approach to scripture, this series is both enlightening and healing. Reclaim these verses—not as weapons, but as pathways to grace.
