Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
The recent uptick in white Christian Nationalism runs parallel to the dominate political climate in this country. Public Theology will be a vehicle for promoting violent rhetoric against LGBTQIA+ persons. Public Theology and Violent Rhetoric Examined in a Queer Womanist Critical Ethnography offers the Quintessential response to this unfortunate trend. The stories in the book exemplify the lived experience of people who have found the freedom to live and let live while being faithful to their spiritual convictions. Panelists will evaluate the trajectory of violent rhetoric and comment on the usefulness of the book in helping to dispel the mythology that surrounds LGBTQIA+ persons and the concept of faith.
