Meet the Authors #27 - Anne Witton

We're talking to Anne about her journey with Christianity. On a more personal note, we are discussing sexuality and how she supports people who are attracted to the same sex and the challenges that raises for those who follow Jesus. We will be discussing why Anne holds the view she does about sexuality as well as how Christians can be better at providing community for all.From Anne's website: I wholeheartedly believe in the mission to invite people, families and communities into life-transforming relationships with Jesus. My local ministry is focused on sharing my faith, discipling Christians, social action and outreach. I also have a national role which involves telling the better story of biblical sexuality, encouraging churches in supporting same-sex attracted members and giving positive teaching on singleness, marriage, celibacy and community so that everyone can thrive.See more from her website: https://www.annewitton.uk/Also see www.livingout.org for more resources on this topic.#sexuality #christianity #inclusion--- About the channel ---Dan and Phil are mates who like talking apologetics, philosophy, ethics and theology. They interview Christians who are evangelists, authors, scientists, apologists, comedians or simply interested in talking about big topics.
