182: Integrating Faith and Queerness with Michael Crumpler

2017-05-11

The VUU welcomes Michael Crumpler, LGBTQ and Intercultural Programs Manager at the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). We talk about how queer people of color are hurt by undiagnosed white supremacy and current limitations in progressive spaces in pastoring around race. Michael also shares his personal story about how his queer experience is informed by his blackness.

Show notes:

• Videos from the Spring 2017 Minns Lecture Series: Historical and Future Trajectories of Black Lives Matter and Unitarian Universalism with the Rev. Rosemary Bray McNatt and the Rev. Mark Morrison-Reed

The VUU is hosted by Meg Riley (currently on sabbatical), Michael Tino, Joanna Fontaine Crawford, Aisha Hauser, Hank Peirce, and Alicia Forde, with production support provided by Terri Burnor. The VUU streams live on Thursdays at 11 am ET.
