Christian Faith and Same-sex Attraction

For those in the Pittsburgh area: You will want to know about the conference being hosted this weekend by my friend Wesley Hill on Christian Faith and Same-sex Attraction. It’s being held at Trinity School for Ministry, an Anglican seminary in Ambridge, a small city up the Ohio River from Pittsburgh.

Two of the four speakers are both well-known young Catholic writers, and I think both converts, Eve Tushnet, another blogger here, and Melinda Selmys. The others are Dr. Hill (an Anglican) and Mark Yarhouse (whose ecclesial commitment I don’t know).

The conference looks to be a very helpful time reflecting on one of the controversies currently roiling Christianity in the West, which is mainly being argued about as a doctrinal and moral matter but not so much as a pastoral challenge. I’ll be going to the Friday evening lecture and much of the conference on Saturday and hope to meet any readers who happen to come.
