Foundation for Sex Positive Culture presents:
Real Talk About Sex And The Bible
A Guide to Holiday Survival with Rev. Austin Adkinson.
So, you're about to go visit with family who, to some extent, are less liberated than you. Or maybe you would like to get your talking points in order when it comes to sexuality and the Christian faith. The argument may not be win-able with your family, but you can decide for yourself what the Bible says about sexuality in our (post)modern era. Pastor Austin will help us think through our questions. Seriously, an ordained mainline minister wants you to feel ok with your sexual identity.
All sexes, genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, relationship orientations welcome and celebrated.
Cost at the door: $25.
Attendance is limited to 50 people.
Questions may be directed to: education@thefspc.org
About the Educator:
Rev. Austin Adkinson is the Minister of Just Discipleship at First Church of Seattle. He is a white, cisgender male, ordained in the United Methodist Church. In other words, he is a magnet for privilege, and as such, everything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. That being said, he identifies as queer and is most at home with people who seek to challenge patriarchy, racism, classism, heterosexism, and all systems of oppression. He earned a Masters of Divinity in New Testament Studies from Union Theological Seminary (NYC). He served as a member of the General Conference delegation from the Pacific Northwest Conference of the UMC. He is currently seeking a publisher for a collection of devotional readings on extracanonical texts. Pastor Austin loves downhill skiing, craft beers, and working for the glory of the kin-dom of God.
This workshop is produced by the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture, producer of the Seattle Erotic Art Festival. Please go to TheFSPC.org for more information.
