Our Equipping
Sessions...
6) "A Biblical Apologetic - Does Jesus Address
Homosexuality?" - Liberal pastors and
theologians say Jesus approves of homosexuality. Some even go so far
as to say He was gay. Even many evangelical pastors
often preach from the pulpit, "Jesus did not say anything about
homosexuality". But the fact is...Jesus did address
homosexuality! This is critical apologetic information for
every Christian and Seeker. This intimate and
comprehensive look into the teachings of Jesus Christ may surprise
you. Evangelicals beware...there's something Jesus has to say
to us as well. (approximately 1 Hr)
7) "Comparing and Contrasting Gay and Biblical
Theology" - This session covers
a complete compare and contrast of Gay and Biblical
Theology interpretation of: (i) the key Scriptures
that Gay Theologians claim as positive
affirmation of same-sex sexual relationships; and (ii) the key
Scriptures that describe such relationships as sinful.
This presentation will help
you compassionately understand the inside worldview
of homosexual theology. An insightful presentation that
will equip you to relate better to homosexuals. (approximately 1
Hr)
8) "A Special Message: On The Other Side of
Homosexuality" - This session is
designed especially for Senior High and/or College Age Students in
your church or ministry. Bill shares the full range of his faith
story from initial awareness of same-sex attractions to denial and
repression to the coming out process and falling in love concluding
with his eventual surrender to Christ and the blessings God has
given him as he has followed Christ. This session is part of our
Safe Families -
Safe Churches Initiative and offers youth
struggling with many different issues practical alternatives
for bringing those difficulties into the healing, accepting and
loving light of Christ. Great compassion and sensitivity
transform your Youth ministry into a safe place where
students can be "real" about their lives. Parent or Guardian
authorization is required for students under 18 years of age. This

Our Peacemaker
Session...
10) "Gay and
Evangelical Voices: Two Viewpoints, One
Dialogue" - This panelist session
is specifically designed to yield mutually
respectful sharing between the GLBT Community and Evangelicals.
EVERYONE is welcome (including those who do not identify as
Christian). This session allows panelists from all sides of the
homosexual issue to share their own personal story. The Moderator
then asks a series of questions. Finally, the audience is given
time to ask their own questions. This highly interactive session has
proven to bring a spirit of peace to an issue that often
illicits anger and frustration. FOTOS defers the Moderator
role to the GLBT Community. Our policy is simple: we offer
this session only when invited to do so by the GLBT
Community. (approx. 2 Hr)
