I've come to see that when it comes to the church and homosexuality, the focus is on puritanical fear, misogyny and partisan politics instead of where it needs to be: humanity, relationship and love.
Ever wondered what it takes for someone to completely change their stance on a deeply ingrained belief? In this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine', James Powell sits down with Rev Michael Coren, a former Catholic conservative who once vehemently opposed same-sex marriage. Michael shares his remarkable transformation into a passionate advocate for LGBTQ rights and full acceptance within the Christian church.
Known for his previous role as a high-profile opponent of marriage equality in Canada, Michael opens up about the pivotal moments that led to his profound change of heart. He talks candidly about the spiritual and personal revelations that inspired his journey from being a nightly television and radio host with conservative views to becoming an outspoken champion for love and acceptance.
The conversation delves into the impact of religious trauma, the struggles of LGBTQ Christians, and the importance of modern sex education. Michael's story is a powerful reminder that change is possible, and that love and acceptance can triumph over hate and intolerance. Tune in to hear how one man's journey from conservatism to allyship offers hope for the future of the church and LGBTQ rights.
