Show Notes

Today’s podcast feels like three friends sitting around chatting about theology, faith and life. Dana and I had never met Erin Green before but instantly felt like kindred spirits.

Erin is an affirming biblical scholar and LGBTQ+ activist. Their passion is helping those excluded by the church to heal from spiritual abuse and trauma by navigating the biblical text in restorative ways.

Erin is best known for their work in supporting LGBTQ+ students on conservative, Christian university campuses. They served as the Co-Executive Director of Brave Commons, a Queer led group seeking to dismantle oppressive systems at Christian Universities and address the denial of basic human rights of LGBTQ+ students. 

Erin currently works with the Religious Exemption Accountability Project. Through civil rights litigation, documentary film, oral history, research and public policy, REAP works toward a world where LGBTQ students on all campuses are treated equally, with safety and respect. 

This conversation was warm, honest, funny, and deeply meaningful. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
