Eve Tushnet responds to a question about whether Christians can participate in same-sex marriages.

This week, Paul and Dominic interview Eve Tushnet about her wonderful book, “Tenderness: A Gay Christian's Guide to Unlearning Rejection and Experiencing God's Extravagant Love.” Our discussion had two key themes. The first is that gay men and women are, in fact, relentlessly and tenderly loved by God and have a place in the Church. The second is that gay folks often experience harm in the Church ranging from outright discrimination and bullying to casual spiritual abuse. And, as Eve points out, those experiences are an “anti-catechesis” that proclaims that God is more like an abusive boyfriend than a loving father. A quick note, Eve was recovering from pneumonia when we recorded this episode, so please excuse what she called her Darth Vadar voice.  Eve Tushnet is a freelance writer, a Patheos blogger, and the award-winning author of Gay and Catholic. She also has written two novels, is the editor of the anthology Christ's Body, Christ's Wounds, and has contributed to several books, including Sex and the Spiritual Life. Tushnet has written on the paths of love available to gay Christians for a wide range of publications, including America, American Conservative, Commonweal, and Christianity Today, and online for Atlantic, New York Times, and Washington Post. She has spoken at multiple conferences for LGBT Christians. She also writes and speaks on the arts. Tushnet lives in Washington, DC.

Revoice 2021 Together met in October 2021 in Dallas to encourage what they call “sexual minorities” within the church to obedience, to reach out evangelistically to LGBTQ people, and to minister to “sexual majority” Christians. The conference featured Eve Tushnet, Preston Sprinkle, Greg Johnson, Misty Irons, Greg Coles, and many other speakers, as well as panels on gender minorities, racial minorities, and women. With an emphasis on community support (reflected in the theme “together”), the speakers called the gathered assembly to be obedient to a biblical sexual ethic, as well as acknowledging the pain that the church has caused to those who identify as LGBTQ.Revoice 2021 positions itself in the theological mainstream, as if the controversies surrounding the conference and movement are purely semantic. The wider evangelical church, for example, by policing the language of people who identify as LGBTQ, are said to erect artificial barriers for entrance into the kingdom of God, akin to those of New Testament era Judaizers. Revoice, as a movement, is prepared to forgive and reach out to those in the church who are complicit in this grave sin, but the church should repent and move on from these kinds of debates for the sake of mission and the witness of the gospel.Rather than a purely semantic disagreement over whether or not to use the word “gay,” the language applied to self-hood and identity by Revoice points to underlying philosophical and theological assumptions that Christians should identify themselves by sexual behavior and inclinations, grounding this identification in a secular gender ideology rather than the Scriptures. Furthermore, by framing the semantic issues as Side A and Side B — referring to “Side A brothers and sisters” — they make the question of sexuality, both behavior and identity, to be adiaphora, a non-essential issue that Christians are free to disagree about. Rather than a “slippery slope,” both the ideology and language that Revoice is embracing will eventually take them over a spiritual cliff.*Note this description has been updated along with the article below on February 8th, 2022. *This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Anne Kennedy about her online-exclusive article, “Identity and Obedience in Revoice 2021”. https://www.equip.org/article/identity-and-obedience-in-revoice-2021/This is an online-exclusive from the Christian Research Journal.

Many believe that the Church's traditional teachings on marriage condemn LGBTQ+ Christians to a life without love. How can we broaden our view of same-sex love, kinship, and commitment? Eddie and Chris are joined by Eve Tushnet, author of Gay and Catholic: Accepting My Sexuality, Finding Community, Living My Faith and Amends: A Novel. Eve identifies as an openly lesbian woman who has chosen a life of celibacy within the Catholic Church, and for some, her story may seem like a contradiction. Faithful to historical Catholic tradition, Eve writes primarily for gay Christians and anyone who wants to make the churches more welcoming for gay and lesbian members. In this episode, she discusses the harm the church has caused to LGBTQ+ Christians, what we learn from scripture regarding same-sex friendship, and healthy approaches for creating inclusive environments within the church.Order Eve Tushnet's book Gay and Catholic here.I'm Gay, but I'm Not Switching to a Church That Supports Gay Marriage Read Eve Tushnet's articles in America Magazine here:https://www.americamagazine.org/voices/eve-tushnet Check out Guiding Families of LGBT+ Loved Ones here.Follow Eve Tushnet on Twitter:https://twitter.com/evetushnet

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Catholic author and columnist Eve Tushnet to talk about her writing, her journey into Catholicism, and navigating her the faith as a gay Catholic. Eve's insights – living and writing from the heart of the Catholic Church about some deeply personal, and challenging, issues – are flecked with her trademark humour and self-deprecation and provide some incredible places to begin to understand the Church's teaching, the role and place of gay Catholics within the Church, and how to discern an appropriate, kind, and deeply Catholic way forward for other gay Catholics. If you want to know what the Church teaches and what it actually takes to live out the faith as a gay Catholic, you'll find this episode deeply enriching. I'm so grateful to Eve for her time and so blessed to bring you this incredible conversation. Let's begin to understand one another better – in harmony with the magisterial teaching of the Church – and begin to get this right.

Jesus tells us to love, but how do you love someone who breaks your heart? How do you love someone who continually frustrates you? Today's sermon tackles how to love people and institutions which disappoint and hurt us. Using insights from the prophet Jeremiah, Fr. Stephen reassures us that disappointment and sorrow are normal parts of human life. We must love people who cause us grief because every love causes grief. Yet, Jesus' grace is enough to help us bear this grief with the hope that God can lead us through.Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 8:18-9:1Preached on the 15th Sunday after Pentecost - September 22, 2019 by Rev. Stephen SilverthorneSermon HighlightsJeremiah's lament reminds us that godly life isn't always joyfulJeremiah is grief-stricken about Israel's sufferingsHe is also frustrated by Israel's terrible behaviourHe grieves because he & God love IsraelWe grieve and get angry at the church for the same reasonsWe grieve and get angry at ourselves for the same reasonsJesus' answer to grief over Israel is to love it with divine, sacrificial loveThe result is transformationThis love is applied to the churchThis love is applied to usWe should let ourselves be transformed by this loveWhen we are conduits of this love, we bring transformation to those who hurt usFurther ReferenceWhy Can't You Behave sung by Ella FitzgeraldChrist's Body, Christ's Wounds by Eve Tushnet.

After Exodus International, the largest and most prominent ministry to address homosexuality, closed its doors in 2013, the public, both Christian and secular, became more skeptical about the possibility of homosexuals going straight. As a result, a different approach developed, one in which someone who was Christian but same sex attracted could still identify himself as gay but also hold the historic, orthodox biblical view on sexuality. This new approach began showing itself through the writings of authors and teachers Wesley Hill, Nate Collins, Eve Tushnet, Gregory Coles, and Preston Sprinkle, among others. This approach was highlighted at the July 2018 Revoice Conference in St. Louis, a conference that underscored the chasm between those viewing homosexuality as a sin and identity to be renounced, versus those viewing it as a sin to commit but an identity to embrace. Gay Christians were the targeted participants of the conference, and many within the Christian church applauded. Many voiced concerns as well, particularly about the terms the conference employed. In addition to gay Christians, it referred to homosexuals as a sexual minority, advocated spiritual friendships as ways of satisfying unmet needs for deep bonding, extolled the community gay Christians created, and pondered the prophetic voice they had when rebuking the churchs idolatrous emphasis on marriage and family. The conference was birthed by a void felt decades ago when samesex attracted believers felt they had no resource for ministry and support. While Exodus International met that need for years, its closing reintroduced the void, adding to it the question as to whether or not change is possible for Christians wrestling with homosexual temptations. Since much of the terminology used at Revoice squares poorly with Scripture, its terms should be avoided but its participants listened to as they describe a struggle the church should acknowledge. In so doing, Christians should reject the labels Revoice has proposed, while accepting the challenge to respond to their needs
