A Conservative Pastor Reckons with his Gay Son's Coming Out - Bill White's Story
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of 'Our Lady of Perpetual Brunch,' host Stephen Stanley sits down with Pastor Bill White of City Church Long Beach to discuss his evolving views on LGBTQ+ inclusion in the church. Bill shares his personal journey, sparked by his son's coming out, which transitioned him from a conservative evangelical stance to becoming an affirming advocate.
They delve into the challenges and breakthroughs in Bill's ministry and his outreach work with Small Church Big Table, a nonprofit coaching evangelical leaders on fostering inclusive environments. Join them for a heartfelt conversation about love, faith, and the transformative power of acceptance.
And you can listen or read to Bill's journals and further reflections in the NY Times here. (I recommend the listen option!)
