AWAB Lecture Explores Art's Role in Gender, Sexuality, and Spirituality

The visual arts can connect gender, sexuality, and spirituality, reshaping attitudes about LGBTQ life and religion, according to scholar Justin Sabia-Tanis.

“And this can in turn offer us a new way in which to consider questions about the relationship between sexuality and spirituality, which at times still seems hopelessly mired in the ruts of the decades-old arguments about the religious acceptability of, and the more recent fervor around, gender identities,”

Sabia-Tanis, associate professor of Christian ethics and social transformation at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, presented the lecture for the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists.

He is also the author of Trans-Gender: Theology, Ministry, and Communities of Faith and leads the social transformation program at the seminary.

Author's summary: Art connects gender, sexuality, and spirituality.
