Peterson Toscano will facilitate a workshop that explores gender and sexuality in Bible stories. Lauren Jansen-Parkes is a community theater facilitator, researcher and story lover will co-lead the workshop. While the Bible has been used by some to harm others, there are potential peaceful interpretations of the ancient texts, including those that support LGBTQ lives.
