Steven Dunn, after many years apart from organized religion, has found a space for himself within the United Methodist Church after having experienced what he saw as an extremely generous gesture on the part of a United Methodist pastor. He is an openly gay man, and he attends Summit on 16th United Methodist Church in Columbus, OH. Listen with us as Josh and Alex talk to Steven about his powerful story of exclusion and reconnection.

Recorded on 2/7/17.

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.
