LG tags: Interview, Forgiveness, Reconciliation, Faith
In an effort to help you know what to expect from each festival event and to decide which events you’ll most enjoy, we’ve created a Level Ground tagging system.
Alan Chambers Exclusive Interview
Alan and Leslie Chambers got engaged on their first date and married in 1998, beginning a very public journey together. Alan's story as a Christian with a gay orientation, the couple's unlikely union, and his work have fascinated—and in some cases, outraged—observers.
From 2001 to 2013, Alan led Exodus International. Then, he oversaw the closure of the ministry. He and Leslie are now focused on building relationships with the LGBT community and encouraging the global church to do the same.
Level Ground board member and Fast Company editor-at-large Jeff Chu will interview Alan about his journey, his time with Exodus, and what he believes it means and requires to establish trust with LGBT individuals. If you were fortunate enough to experience Jeff’s interview with Megan Phelps Roper at last year’s festival, you know this is an event you absolutely will not want to miss. (S.C.)
