I'm still reflecting on a day I spent this weekend teaching on #ReadingtheBible with integrity to the text AND to the lives & experiences of #LGBTQIA+ folks. I have a few thoughts that I'd like to share for whatever they're worth. /1

I was anxious about the day. I always am. I never know who's going to be there and how safe I can ensure the day will be for those attending. It didn't help that the BBC Radio Bristol interviewer I spoke to a couple weeks ago asked if I'd have people picketing outside. 😣 /2
There were about 50 people there, signed up for an entire day (9am-4pm) of studying the Bible and the passages that are often referred to as the "clobber" texts (texts used to beat up and abuse LGBTQIA+ people). It's not something people would usually sign up to for fun. /3
