Ep243 David 'NakedPastor" Hayward on Trans Rights, his inspiration, what Easter means and the Church in 2023
The Department of Conversation with Pat BrittendenShow Notes
David Hayward is a pastor turned artist painting, drawing, and thinking about what it takes to be free to be you. If you’re interested in deconstruction, spiritual journeying, freedom of thought, or looking for your authentic self, you’re welcome to join him while he searches too.
Pat has been sharing David's art, especially the art that challenges the church on their LGTB opinions, since Posie Parker came to NZ and was promptly sent packing.
Today we talk rights for vulnerable groups, was Jesus political and why the church seems to be so inwardly looking, other than when it's ready to tell someone off, which seems to be the opposite of what it was designed to be 2,000 years ago.
