Listen "Homosexuality, Christianity, and gender discrimination in religion"
Episode Synopsis
Did you know the word “homosexual” didn’t appear in the Bible until 1946? Neither did we. And neither did Kathy Baldock until a gay friend said, “Even God doesn’t love me,” and Kathy, a heterosexual, practicing Christian, went looking for answers. Today, Kathy is an author (Walking The Bridgeless Canyon), LGBTQ advocate, international speaker and educator. She has done more research than almost anyone in the world on the origins of Christianity's discrimination against the LGBTQ community. She joins Sabrina to discuss:• How two words became combined and mistranslated to “homosexual” in the 1946 Revised Standard Version (RSV) of the Bible • The ways in which the Church's relationship to the LGBTQ community has evolved• How an antiquated understanding of procreation, among other things, led to gender discrimination in the ChurchLike what you hear and want more?
