In today’s episode you will hear from Lyndon Parker, who spoke at our LGBTQIA+ Stories session during our 2021 Devoted seminar. Lyndon Parker (they/them) completed a Certificate in Christian Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary in 2018. They live in Delaware, Ohio, and currently lead groups on the topic of LGBT+ life at the church they attend. They are in the initial steps of forming Circle Ministries which seeks to help create a place for healing, learning and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people in the traditional church.

While Lyndon came out as gay in the 1980s, they have only recently embraced their transgender identity. They currently serve as the founding president of PFLAG Delaware which was officially established in May 2021. PFLAG Delaware is a local chapter of a national organization that offers education, advocacy and support for family, friends, allies and LGBT+ individuals.

Please keep in mind that varying viewpoints are represented in our organization & that is reflected in the speakers who are a part of this Devoted series. Rather than promoting a certain theological viewpoint, LOVEboldly’s goal is for LGBTQIA+ people to belong, feel safe, and flourish in the Church. Please enjoy today’s episode from Lyndon Parker!
