Wesley Hill, a celibate gay Episcopal priest and associate professor at Western Theological Seminary, endorses an undefined, but apparently majority, amount of the ideology in Queer Theory during a March 14, 2022 talk at George Fox University titled “The Trouble with Normal and the Order of Love.” —
TRANSCRIPT HIGHLIGHT—
Q: I have a question more about critical theory.
A: Sure.
Q: So my question is: Why should we focus on the motives behind people’s arguments? Shouldn’t we just solely focus on discerning which arguments are truthful?
A: Thank you. Yes. I think I’m in agreement with that. I apologize if I fail to live up to my own ideal on that. I mean, I think that a lot of what I find in queer theory is not something I feel the need to oppose as a Christian. And I certainly wouldn’t want to say that, you know, if I feel able to discern the motives of a Michel Foucault or a Judith Butler, that that somehow obviates my need to engage their arguments. So yeah. I think i’m in agreement, and I apologize if anything I said was sort of out of step with that.
h/t to @wokepreachertv, for the headline, transcript and intro. Basically I copied everything.
