Rev. Laura Young is the senior pastor at Summit on 16th United Methodist Church in Columbus, OH. She is also the Director of the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. Laura along with a large contingent of other clergy across the United States formally came out as LGBTQ in a letter. Despite the language in the Book of Discipline, Rev. Young is showing everyday that LGBTQ persons can and do serve in meaningful ways. Recorded on 9/27/16.
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.
