Homosexuality and the Bible (Metropolitan Community Churches)
“You will learn everything you need to know to answer your own questions and those of your family and friends. His six conclusions are the best summary of this complex subject I have ever heard. It was Ken’s teaching and preaching that gave me the courage to come out, confront my friends in the Christian right and move from a closet of fear and shame to being an out-loud activist.” (Rev. Mel White)

Gender: The Cornerstone of Human Sexuality (Metropolitan Community Churches)
In this presentation, we explore what constitutes biological gender, gender role and gender identity. We will look at the extraordinary diversity that exists in aspects of gender previously assumed to be categorical and immutable. We will show how and why confusion about these different aspects of gender continue and how ignorance about them results in unnecessary suffering and violence. Finally, we will show the importance of keeping discussions about gender and sexual orientation separate and distinct. Join Rev. Elder Ken Martin for this engaging presentation.
