Monday, Feb 10 – Misguided Love: Christians and the Rupture of
LGBTQI2+ People
7pm, Knox College (Room 4)
A book launch celebrating Professor Charles’ Fensham’s book, Misguided Love.
Rev. Dr. Charles Fensham is Professor of Systematic Theology at Knox College.
He states: “When I started this research project about five years ago,
it was because I was very deeply concerned about the way sexual and gender
minority people are experiencing harm in Christian communities. The book is my
attempt to figure out the puzzle of how a faith that professes love can take a
path that harms others.” Dr. Fensham has created a series of
introductory videos at bit.ly/IntroMisguidedLove. RSVP by February 5
to knox.college@utoronto.ca. Can’t attend in
person? Watch the event via livestream at bit.ly/2020fenshamlaunch.
