Desire: An Evening of Musical Reflection
THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 2018 | 6:00 P.M.
VANDERBILT DIVINITY SCHOOL G-20 (ARTS ROOM)
While pursuing his Master of Divinity degree, Luther Young has undertaken research at the intersection of race, sexuality, and theology. An extension of the M.Div. Senior Project entitled “Pimps and Sissies: Gay Men, the Black Church, and Liberation Theology,” Desire uses song and narration to illustrate how gay black men of faith maintain their relationship with God, either within or without the Black Church. Luther along with members of the community will perform musical selections to guide reflections about the experiences of gay black men in religious contexts. Desire will be held Thursday, April 5th in the Divinity School Arts Room at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
