About this Event

Whether you're a young queer Christian like me, or someone who has endured decades of Church discrimination, or even someone who hears the word church and just knows deep within your bones that the institution can be better, this day is for you! No matter who we are, we all have ideas and theologies that have been part of our spiritual upbringings--concepts we take for granted that inform our relationship with the Divine, with each other, and with our true selves. It's time we deconstruct these harmful ideas and liberate each other--and the church itself--from a history of spiritual, emotional, and physical trauma.

Based on my new book, Reclaiming Church: A Call to Action for Religious Rejects, this Deconstruction Day will focus on:

1. Naming & deconstructing ideas about God

2. Naming & deconstructing mistranslations and misuses of the Bible

3. Naming & deconstructing our own spiritual/coming out stories

4. Using these tools to actively reclaim church

Whether or not you've read my book, this day will provide an accessible and challenging background for you to begin/continue your process of reclaiming your faith, identity, and church itself!
