Happy Pride! This week on Faithfully Memphis, join Emily Austin for a conversation with Baltimore-based writer Billie Hoard (she/her), a trans Christian woman in the Anabaptist Mennonite tradition whose writing explores the intersection of transgender identities and the Church. Join Emily and Billie for a lively discussion ranging from late-90s youth group culture to allyship to intersectionality to being a Christian while also being queer. We hear from Billie about what Christian faith communities can do to earn trust from marginalized people. Emily also talks about the Episcopal Church's history of LQBTQ+ advocacy.
