Usually when we hear about a noted evangelical Christian author speaking about gays and the Church, we expect it to be something pretty exclusionary and hateful. But Professor Jack Rogers, former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church USA, is giving a lecture tonight (with a question and answer period afterwards) on the subject of gay rights, and it sounds like it might actually be pretty reasonable, open-minded, and, well...Christian. His latest book is called Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality: Explode the Myths, Heal the Church, and in it he talks about the personal change of heart he had on this issue. Also, according to the press release, "He examines how the church misused the Bible to justify slavery and the denial of rights to women, and he links these efforts to efforts today to use biblical texts to deny equal rights to gays and lesbians." Wow! Should be an interesting talk. And it's free!
