Feminist Catholic theologian Tina Beattie, a Professor Emerita at the University of Roehampton, is a founding supporter of LGB Christians and Friends. Known for her appearances on BBC Radio 4's "Thought for the Day," she addresses a variety of social and ethical issues. In an interview with Dr. Mark Chater, Tina discusses her theological journey and her evolving perspectives on gender ideology within both the Catholic Church and the broader LGBTQIA+ movement. Her work explores the complexities of faith, sexuality, and power dynamics in contemporary society.
In this introduction to a series, Mark Chater explores the theme of fear and identity within the context of modern UK churches through four fictional yet realistic scenarios. Fionn, a 12-year-old grappling with gender confusion, Rebekah, a researcher on detransitioning facing safety concerns, Callum, a gay man seeking church acceptance, and Frank, a bishop navigating inclusivity, each confront personal and societal fears. Reflecting on the biblical call to "Do not be afraid," the piece examines how faith, education, and pastoral care can provide support and understanding in a complex world. Watch out for the next instalment.
