FLO - Faith Living OUTLoud

On March 19, our Minister Caitlin was interviewed by with Bridget Yard, Producer of Up North,  an afternoon program on CBC Radio One. Caitlin was asked questions about a program that she, Renee Michaud, Tracy Davis, and Peter Haddow have all started at OUTLoud – North Bay here in town, called FLO: Faith Living OutLoud.  Bridget asked Caitlin questions about the program, about faith, queerness, and what it means to create safe spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ people of all ages.   

The interview  (about 9 minutes long) is archived on the CBC Listen website and the descriptor reads:

Faith can be a complex topic for people who identify as queer - and church, even more so. A group in North Bay is providing guidance and safety to young people with questions about the church, God, and how they fit in. We'll get the details from United Church minister Caitlin Smithers.
