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.
