Media Highlights
An Interview
In this interview with Uniting Church Chaplain Liam Miller of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, Liz discusses Queer Virtue and how the church can learn a lot about how to be the church more effectively by learning from queer experience.
In Conversation
In this panel discussion sponsored by the NYC Anti-Violence Project, and hosted by Trinity Wall Street, Liz is joined by a panel of experts to discuss spiritual violence and its impact on queer souls. Spiritual violence against queer people is so pervasive it is almost hard to see. This special two-part conversation addresses what can be done to address the wounds of spiritual violence against LGBTQ people, while looking at the following questions: What is spiritual violence? How does it impact our communities? What can faith communities do about it?
A Keynote Speech
In this keynote speech, given at the Generous Space 2019 Ontario Retreat, Liz queers the story of Jesus and the Woman at the Well to demonstrate how queerness can inform how we read scripture.
In Conversation
In this video conversation with Inclusive Gathering in Birmingham, England, Liz explains how the practice of blessing people with a cross of Glitter+Ash on their foreheads started back on Ash Wedensday in 2017. For her, Glitter+Ash is an inherently queer sign of Christian belief, blending symbols of mortality and hope, of repentance and celebration.
