  Kinship Lab #03 - Facets and Goals of the Side B Project

  May 25, 20261h 15mS0

  <p>Following up on our earlier conversations, we engage the Side B project. Yes, project. Side B is often thought of as a community of queer/SSA Christians committed to the traditional, Christian sexual ethic.

  #81 - Hope for All Our Intimate Relationships, with Erin Moniz

  May 6, 20261h 5mS0

  <p>The whole gang talked with Erin Moniz—Baylor University chaplain, Anglican deacon, and author of the excellent book Knowing and Being Known—about developing a Christian theology of intimacy.
