CEIE and The Interfaith Observer Present “Including LGBTQ Voices in Interfaith Work," by Chris Stedman
Posted: June 8, 2023
“I have experienced exclusion and demonization for being an atheist, and also times I have been attacked for being queer. I included both in order to highlight the reality that fear of the ‘other’ has frequently pushed me, and many others, to the margins of our society.”
– Chris Stedman
