DECONSTRUCTING THE BIBLE
- July 15, 2009 / 7:30 p.m.
- Rev. Dr. Robert E. “Bob” Shore-Goss Presents radical,
gay-friendly ways to look at the Scriptures.
Tired of being beaten up by the same old texts? Come hear Rev. Dr. Bob Shore-Goss talk about reading scripture through an LGBT perspective and propose a new “liberation theology” for our community.
If it sounds daring, it is. Dr. Shore-Goss has a history of being daring. While he started ministry as a gay Roman Catholic priest and received a Th. D. in Comparative Religion from Harvard University, he knows how to get down and dirty. He has worked in Mother Theresa of Calcutta’s House of the Dying Destitute and been a member of ACT-UP. These formative experiences developed his deep conviction of Jesus’ radical commitment to the marginalized.
”Audacious”
“Cutting edge”
“A milestone”
“Revolutionary”
Taken from reviews
of Shore-Goss’ books.
Dr. Shore-Goss is presently the full time pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church of the Valley and teaches in the Religious Studies Department at CSUN and Claremont School of Theology, where he lectures on Queer Theology. He has taught at the university level for more than 10 years, winning the 2000 Templeton Course Prize in Religion and Science. Dr Shore-Goss is legally married to his partner Rev. Joseph Shore-Goss.
Come hear him and be challenged, shocked, surprised, and inspired.
