There was a great conference held in St. Louis at the end of October you may not have heard about. The Rolling the Stone Away conference brought together many LGBTQ Christians who were integral in the earliest struggles for acceptance and equality. Many younger activists were invited as well, making this conference one of the few to intentionally bring together different generations involved in LGBTQ Christian activism.
CFT member Mary E. Hunt was an invited guest, and she shares her reflections on the conference with readers of Religion Dispatches in this article.
Other CFT members were also honored as important contributors to the early work. Peggy Campolo was in attendance, while Virginia Ramey Mollenkott and Letha Dawson Scanzoni were unable to attend.

Rolling the Stone Away was produced by the LGBT Religious Archives Network.
