In this special bonus episode of The Forum Podcast, Nina Boe from Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding and Jean-Marie Navetta from PFLAG National answer questions from listeners that attended our July 21, 2022 Webinar Beyond the Blame Game: Religion and LGBTQ Inclusion at Work Nina and Jean-Marie answer the following questions: Question 1: Some of the data you presented indicated that many Christians in America feel that they are being persecuted and discriminated against for their beliefs. Have you heard that Christians are saying they are discriminated against because of LGBTQ+ ERG activities? Where do you think this idea comes from? Question 2: What data can we bring to gatekeepers that this conversation about religion and LGBTQ+ identities in the workplace is needed? Question 3: One of the things you talked about was being aware of the kinds of programming that ERGs do to not inadvertently, for example, invite a speaker considered inflammatory to certain groups. Could a fairly simple checklist be used to vet potential speakers and other similar situations across multiple considerations? Question 4: When someone is curious and wants to learn more about any particular dimension of difference - what are your best practices for setting up safe spaces for people to ask the questions that they may not ask in ERG settings - essentially where can employees practice safely at work? Question 5: Should we avoid talking about misinterpretation of Bible quotes, for example, to avoid confrontation? Question 6: "Tolerance for all but the intolerant" What do you think about this phrase? How do we tolerate people who have negative views? Question 7: What could be a good response to the notion expressed as, “I don't want to endorse that lifestyle” when people decline to participate in LGBTQ+ ERG activities? Difference between affirming and learning? Question 8: Do you think members of inclusive churches feel a special responsibility to hold members of non-inclusive churches accountable for the impact of that exclusion? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fwi/support

Preaching for the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Elizabeth Turnwald offers a reflection on surrendering to God's personal invitation to discipleship: "We can get so caught up in the preparation that we don’t appreciate the invitation. But the marvelous thing about God, this all-forgiving, all-patient Universal Love, is that even when we don’t answer 'correctly,' she finds a way of repeating herself; and she will continue asking until we’re ready. It’s a cycle, a pattern, and a living relationship. We won’t always get it right the first time, but we will eventually discover that sweet bliss of open surrender." Elizabeth Turnwald is a current Jesuit Volunteer in New York City and is the Retreat Coordinator and Conflict Resolution Program Assistant at the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding. A graduate of the University of Dayton, she holds a B.A. in Music and in Spanish with a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies. She will soon pursue a Master of Divinity at the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry.
