Cultivating Agapic Energy: What Fannie Lou Hamer Teaches Side B Folks About Faith, Justice, and Resilience

I was invited to write a reflection on Black History Month for another space, one that has been so life-giving for me. Revoice is a Christian conference created by and for Side B folks (Christian queer people who are committed to pushing back against the homophobia embedded in the broader Church to create the possibility for thriving and at the time are committed to following the historic sexual ethic of the broader Church through celibacy or mixed-orientation marriage).

With gratitude I ask you to click here to visit the Revoice: Our Voices blog!
