SUMMARY:Deconstructing Bad Theology
DESCRIPTION:An Affirming Connections Offering with Jaye Brix\nDeconstructing Bad Theology\nTuesdays: March 31\, April 7 & 14\, 2026\nOnline via Zoom\nBad theology hurts. \nIt hurts the 2SLGBTQIAP+ community\, it hurts our communities of faith\, and it hurts folks who feel held down under the thumb of harmful language\, tradition\, and belief. \nJoin us for this three-week series inviting us all into a process of deconstructing the theologies that restrict us as we seek to expand our affirming ministry and as we live out faithful discipleship that celebrates diversity as sacred. We will learn together with Jaye Brix (they/she)\, an ex-pastor who uses their experience\, education and creativity to help folks on their liberation journey\, leaving behind church that hurts. \nExploring short-format teachings and longer-form documentary videos from Jaye Brix as tools to cracking open oppressive interpretation of scripture and religious culture. Exploring the roots of Queer Theology as a liberation theology for all\, not just the 2SLGBTQIAP+ community. Jaye will join us for one of our sessions for conversation\, and sharing insights of their work as it evolves \nREGISTER HERE
