S10, Episode 7 - Queer Blood and Fire - Brad Watson

An amazing conversation with Brad Watson who served twenty-five years as a Salvation Army officer. He has a PhD in religious studies and has worked in church, government, humanitarian, and community services settings. He currently serves as a not-for-profit organization chair and director, senior manager for the Australian Red Cross, and a member of the School of Graduate Research Committee at the University of Divinity, Australia. He is a proud father to Zoe and Dominic and partner to Jason. Brad shares his story and we talk about Brads newly released book Queer Blood and Fire: The Experiences of Gay and Lesbian Salvation Army Officers, which is based on a survey and interviews conducted with queer Australian Salvation Army officers. It explores the history, harms, and hopes of these people within that context. This is such an important book and I recommend it very much.   Like and share this episode on Social media and to your friends.
