David and TJ describe the “Sides” terminology/heuristic device used among many Christians engaged in the conversation around sexuality and Christianity in the US. They describe the most common fourfold system - A, B, Y, X – including the key principles that animate the particular school of thought, key organizations and/or figures, and values or postures that seem to be embedded among people in each broad school. This conversation will be of use to listening to many future episodes as we are likely to use this system as a basic reference system when talking about the various schools of thought. _____________ Show Notes: Here is David's shorthand tool for remembering the 4 sides: Side Affirming homosexual practice #affirm Side contextualizing traditional Biblical sexuality #renew Side whY talk about sexual orientation #renounce Side eX-Gay therapy #rebuild _____________ A Summary Chart of ABYX [PNG Link] A thorough breakdown and history of the 4 sides [4 Sides - Life on Side B] _____________ The origination of the Side A and B distinction from the Gay Christian Network (note: the contemporary Side B perspective is more expansive than this) [Bridges-Across: The Sides of the Divide -archive] Mudblood Catholic's Definition and Origination of the Side Y Descriptor [Mudblood Catholic: Gay and Catholic, Part I: Gaystation Two] Bible Gender, and Sexuality by James V Brownson [Book link] Michael Hannon Article “Against Heterosexuality” [Against Heterosexuality by Michael W.

Jaron Terry is one of the most dynamic and fabulous people I’ve ever met. I fell in love with her after getting a free Mama Bear hug at the Gay Christian Network conference this past January. Few people in this world reflect the light and love of Christ like she does. We talk about her about getting shunned by her Methodist church after her son came out and how she found solace in support groups like PFLAG and the Serependitydodah Facebook group. And she dishes advice for LGBTQ parents in dealing with family holiday obligations, including this gem - Don't be afraid to drop the "F" bomb on grandma.
