Groundswell: Tell ESPN "Christian Does Not Equal Anti-Gay"

Reverend Debra Haffner via Groundswell: If ESPN addresses religious issues, it must include leaders from the many religious traditions that affirm sexual and gender diversity as a blessing, or they must cease from commenting on such issues entirely.

Religious Leader: The Rev. Kanyere Eaton

The Rev. Kanyere Eaton is Pastor of Fellowship Covenant Church, an Evangelical church in the Bronx, speaking at Auburn Seminary's 2012 Lives of Commitment Awards Benefit Breakfast. Rev. Eaton speaks about the legacy of women leaders often times pouring themselves into causes for social change while neglecting their own self-care, and the mandate contemporary leaders have to change that trend. Rev. Eaton's words reflect the founding principles of Auburn Seminary's Sojourner Truth Leadership Circle, which seeks to advance self-care among black women faith leaders to enhance their effectiveness for activist leadership and ministry.
