The LGBTQ Community and Soulforce

Rev. Dr. Cindi Love, executive director of Soulforce, in the spring 2013 series "Faith in Action." Ross Wantland of the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations introduced her. Love described Soulforce's Equality Ride work at Christian colleges, campaigns around denominational policy, and the case of a Zimbabwean board member imprisoned for LGBT advocacy. She gave a personal account of growing up in the Church of Christ in Abilene, Texas, her brother's death from AIDS in the 1980s, her son's coming out and suicide attempt, and her turn to nonviolent resistance. An extended audience Q&A followed.
