Doctrinal Certainty Over Born Life–Why I Left Traddery (Part 6 of 6)

Last updated on: September 14, 2022 at 4:37 pm By Julie Nichols

I grew up loving Jesus and the Church, was raised traditional Episcopalian, and met my husband in college. I served as a female altar server for ten years of my traditional Episcopalian upbringing until I graduated from high school in 1990. Due to growing liberated gender and sexuality ethics in the Episcopal Church USA in the 1970s and 1980s and not fully understanding my Anglo-Catholic heritage or the LBGTQ+ spectrum, we started our family in the Baptist tradition due to...

The consequences of enforcing doctrine at all costs

Last updated on: September 13, 2022 at 10:11 am By Julie Nichols

I’ve now watched the Catholic trailer below called Wonderfully Made, LBGTQ+ R(eligion) over ten times with no less tears than the first time I watched it. My ultra-conservative background in the Anglican Church of Nigeria and then in conservative trad Catholic circles awakened my eyes to the damage that can be done when Church teaching is forcefully applied to the point of pushing people into suicide and lasting spiritual and psychological harm. I am not an advocate for dismissing Church... Read more

New Ways LBGTQ+ Catholic Ministry and Therapist.News Reviews (Part 3 of 6)

Last updated on: September 5, 2022 at 1:00 pm By Julie Nichols

Happy Sunday! In my last post, I wrote an article about my journey of becoming an affirming Catholic LBGTQIA+ pediatric specialty therapist. Considering how conservative my family’s religious background has been over the last 30 years of my life, arriving to a fully-affirming position as a professional took a tremendous amount of work for me, for my patients’ lives depended on it. In short, affirmation of LBGTQIA+ people is about life, death, and human dignity, not sexual activity. Sexual activity... Read more
