Loving Homosexuals as Jesus Would

Summary: Hear Chad Thompson, author of the book Loving Homosexuals as Jesus Would, explain his own freedom from homosexuality all while critiquing the Christian church for it's hypocrisy when dealing with gay and lesbian people. Thompson points out that, "While gays and lesbians are used to hearing conservative Christians say we love them, such love has historically produced very little humanitarianism." In this 45 minute talk, Thompson also teaches how to reach out to sexually struggling individuals within the church who are looking for the love and support of their Christian friends but often don't share their struggle with others for fear of being rejected. Chad’s talk is followed by a 30 minute Q+A session with the students of Urbana 2006.
