Our Lady of Perpetual Brunch
On Our Lady of Perpetual Brunch, we examine the beautifully broad spectrum of Queer Spirituality. In each episode, host Stephen Stanley will speak to members of the LGBTQ+ community and learn more about their religious and spiritual journey while he communes with them over the wonderful weekend ritual of brunch.
You can find us on Instagram and Facebook. If you have a story you'd like to share with me, please direct message me on Social Media. I'd love to hear from you.

Episode 1: Erika and Candace Hardnett
In this first episode of the series, I speak with Erika and Candace Hardnett, Elder and Pastor of Agape Empowerment Ministries, two remarkable women who share their journey of LGBTQ+ affirmation. I was able to attend a service in Savannah, GA and then, after having brunch together, we discuss their journey as well as how they created an affirming, international ministry in polarized times.
I was especially fascinated by their discussion of the de-colonialization of scripture as well as how they handle the many members of our community who have experienced religious trauma.
