CFS Lecture: Alabama Grandson: A Black, Gay Minister’s Passage Out of Hiding

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 AT 6:30 PM CDT – 8 PM CDT

Join Pastor Anna Camphouse with author Rev. Dr. Cedrick Bridgeforth as he discusses his book, Alabama Grandson and what it was like for him to be Southern, Black, Gay, fatherless, an Air Force Veteran an Ordained Methodist Minister and a master of hiding in plain sight. Cedrick Bridgeforth knows what it means to hold, hide, and wrestle with all of these identities. For years Cedrick had taken great pains to shield his full truth from the world. Then one day, at the height of his career, his entire universe came crashing down.
Cedrick elegantly models that there are different paths to living a fully authentic life and different ways of being a leader and agent of change in today’s world.
You won’t want to miss his story!
