Cedar Valley Pridefest Education Speaker Series - Homosexuality & the Bible

Christians often base their objections to homosexuality on the Bible. In this session, Dr. Hill (she/her) explores the social and cultural contexts of the biblical world in order to understand what the Bible really says about homosexuality, and what it means for us today.

Participants in this speaker series have a chance to win a Pride merch pack!
