Reverend Ben Fitzgerald-Fye joins the show to discuss his experience as a gay minister and progressive faith. Ben gets into the treatment changes with homosexuals, acceptance, and responsibilities within Presbyterian churches and religion as a whole. We also discuss Christian politics, justice, and the lack of empathy as society progresses, and how we can fuel it back into humanity.
By the end of this episode, you will learn to understand other people, have compassion for people, and deal with the things that have been swept under the rug. Stay tuned, and enjoy the podcast!
