Advocate Carl Siciliano recounts how relationship with his LGBTQ community has often placed him at odds with what Christian churches have taught. - Dr. Karri Alldredge, Assistant Professor of New Testament at the Lutheran School of Theology, has spoken numerous times during Faith Forum hours on the importance of interpreting and understanding scripture in its context as it pertains to sexual identity. All are invited to listen to the sessions on Bethlehem’s Spotify channel.
