About This Event

William Stell traces the largely forgotten history of evangelical gay activists who fought to transform their churches from within during the 1970s and 80s. Drawing on archival research and interviews, Stell recovers the stories of four prominent activists—including the founders of the Metropolitan Community Churches and Evangelicals Concerned—who challenged the antigay evangelical majority and imagined a different future for American Christianity. A vital conversation about religion, queerness, and the long arc of activism.
