![]() ![]() ![]() I want to talk tonight about a small minority group that was for almost 2000 years the object of a tragically destructive, religiously motivated, contempt on the part of the Church of Jesus Christ. Transcript of David Gushee’s speech: Ending the Teaching of Contempt against the Church’s Sexual Minorities I have also created a transcript of the speech, based on Dr Gushee’s original notes which he added to his book’s second edition. ![]() It is available on YouTube, and is available below. ![]() On 8 November 2014, Dr Gushee was invited to address a conference organised by Matthew Vine and his Reformation Project. Please do take the time to read the transcript or watch this video before continuing to the next section of this study. His book, “Changing our Mind” (2nd edition, 2015 – .uk) is a seminal work in Biblical analysis and social issues related to same sex marriage and the church. One of the highest profile Christian scholars to come out in support of same sex marriage is Dr David Gushee, an ethicist and professor at Mercer University ( see his personal website here). This is an interlude in my ongoing series on Christians, the Bible and same sex marriage. ![]()
