As a graduate of the Ohio State University and a 1984 graduate of the Saint Paul School of Theology, David Meredith brings over 30 years of experience in ministry, and a lifetime of lived out experiences within the church, to the conversation of sexuality and spirituality and the long-standing conflict over human sexuality within the United Methodist Church. David’s marriage to his husband Jim this past May became a national news story within hours of it happening. David talks to us about what it was like to grow up knowing his was different than other boys, his call to ministry, and what the future may look like for both him and the denomination.
Recorded on 11/30/16.
The purpose of 'We Are Compatible' is to explore the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals and families as well as their allies in order to show that, regardless of what the United Methodist Book of Discipline may say, they are, in fact, compatible. Please join hosts, Alex Shanks and Josh Culbertson, as they explore these stories of courageous authenticity.
