Christian and Gay: The Making of "7 Passages"
from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Fred Stella
I'll provide a little epilogue here. Calvin College did not respond well to Stephanie's extracurricular activity here. From everything I've heard, she sort of drew a target on her back. They were not as progressive as she indicated on air.I'm happy to report that Stephanie is now a prof at Washington & Lee University in Virginia, & appears by all signs to be thriving in a more secular culture.Be sure to ignore all dates, phone numbers, etc. Remember, this took place in 2008. Theme music "Nigal."
What this episode covers
This interview comes from 2008. It's with Dr. Stephanie Sandberg, who at the time was a professor in the Theatre Department at Calvin College (now a university). The conversation was about her new production at the time, "7 Passages," which she wrote & directed in collaboration with others. The title comes from the understanding that there are 7 verses in the Bible that condemn homosexuality. The play attempts to provide context to those words in an effort to start a conversation about LGBT membership in the church.
