Time & Location

Feb 20, 2018, 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM

Stumberg Hall, 3206 Fairfax Walk, Austin, TX 78705, USA

About The Event

Is sexual orientation fixed at birth? What societal factors might affect the emergence of a non-heterosexual orientation? Are transgender people "born that way?" What about transgender therapies?

Over the course of one packed day, we will examine what reputable scientific studies have to say about homosexuality and transgenderism and will discuss how these scientific studies might come to bear on concrete situations religious leaders currently face.

Breakfast, lunch, and a 130-page color workbook will be provided. In order to pay for meals and workshop materials, we ask for a $50 donation from each participant. We do not want this cost to be prohibitive, however, and will gladly accept whatever amount you are able to give.

In order to facilitate deeper discussion, the workshop is limited to the first ten people who register.
