A Weekend with Kathy Baldock
📅 Saturday, March 8 & Sunday, March 9, 2025
📍 City of Refuge UCC, Oakland, CA
Folks at a nearby inclusive church (City of Refuge) have invited us to participate in this upcoming event:
Kathy Baldock—author, LGBTQ+ advocate, and founder of Canyonwalker Connections—is a leading expert on the history of discrimination against LGBTQ+ people, especially within socially conservative Christian and political spheres.
Her book, Forging a Sacred Weapon: How the Bible Became Anti-Gay, explores the history behind how the word “homosexual” was first mistranslated into the Bible in 1946. The documentary 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture follows this groundbreaking research.
Leah is hoping to attend at least some of the weekend and welcomes others to join her! If you’re interested, reach out to Leah to coordinate.
Join us for either or both of these events:
📖 Forging a Sacred Weapon Seminar – Saturday, March 8, 9 AM – 5 PM
🎬 1946 Film Screening & Q&R – Sunday, March 9, 1 PM – 4 PM
