Ep71. More Theolutions: Keegan Osinski, Flora Tang, Nicole Mugford

It’s time for more theo-lutions with a panel of wonders! Keegan Osinski, Flora Tang, and Nicole Mugford join me to talk about our resolutions for our own work and for the church. We discuss online communities/church, the need to talk about sex, creative engagements with our traditions, and forging environments of safety and flourishing for LGBTIQA+ Christians.

Keegan Osinski is the Librarian for Theology and Ethics at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. Her first book, Queering Wesley, Queering the Church, will be out later this year.

Flora Tang (University of Notre Dame/ Theology and Peace Studies) is originally from Beijing, China. During her doctoral studies, she hopes to explore a theology of liturgy and sacraments in post-traumatic or post-conflict settings in the Global South. Her research interests stem from the question of how religious communities embody and remember their collective trauma. Her constructive theology project will draw upon concepts from both memory studies and comparative literature studies. Outside of her research, Flora writes poetry that incorporates imagery from queer theology and the Catholic literary imagination.

Nicole Mugford is a 28 year old, UCA nerd. As an active member of the Uniting Church she finds herself on many councils and committees including the current Assembly Standing Committee. She is a Youth Worker and holds a bachelor of ministry. She has recently started a digital faith community for LGBTQIA+ people in their 20s and 30s which is a growing community of people from all over Australia.
