Conversation #47: Deconstructing Purity Culture
Mar 14, 2024

TW: this episode mentions experiences of rape and sexual violence/trauma. 

Our team deconstructed the harm that has been caused by purity culture, especially to women, but with an awareness to the trauma and harm experienced by the  nonbinary/queer community. 

This conversation was heavy and activating for all of us, but felt incredibly important to have as this continues to cause so much religious trauma for so many in the church. 

We hope you are able to find a safe, supportive community in your deconstructing because "no one deserves to deconstruct alone" as we mentioned during week 17. Our Flipped Table Theology Facebook group may be a starting place for you and we encourage anyone who is deconstructing or processing religious trauma to join.

The Flipped Table Theology Podcast is a production of The Flipped Table Collective. You can explore all of the resources, classes, events, and trainings that the Flipped Table Collective has to offer at www.flippedtablecollective.com.
