"There is no contradiction between being Christian and being gay," says Matthew Vines. In this keynote, Vines expands on his famous hour-long speech about the Bible and homosexuality that calls for acceptance of gay Christians. What does the Bible say about same-sex behavior, and why does it say it? How do same-sex relationships fit into a larger Christian theology of marriage, celibacy, and sexuality? Vines answers these essential questions with warmth, intelligence, and deep feeling. He draws on his own personal experience coming out in a conservative Christian household and his in-depth research into the Bible—a powerfully persuasive combination—to present an interpretation of Scripture that has influenced many conservative Christians. Vines is on a mission to drive change. This moving talk will inspire young gay Christians to accept that their faith and sexuality can co-exist. And, it shows how Scripture—and society—has the capacity to accept and encourage loving gay relationships. There is much to learn from Vines’ message of hope, acceptance, and love—for everyone.
