Rev. Don Abram, the founder of Pride in the Pews, is a queer public theologian and social innovator operating at the intersection of race, religion, and social change. His work and writings have been featured in the Chicago Tribune, Religion News Service, and the Christian Science Monitor. In this episode we get to hear how church shaped and formed all of who he is including his sexuality. He asks us, what if our embrace of queerness is actually the place where we find our liberation? The saints ain't ready for this but we're going to do it anyway. It's Second Sunday. 🙏🏾 ✝️ 📖 🕊️ The Second Sunday podcast is hosted by Esther and Darren Calhoun.
