On Feb. 26, the Connecticut Public Broadcasting program "Where We Live" showcased Sexuality and Religion 2020 and its call for stronger training in sexuality issues for clergy and other religious professionals. The live, call-in program also focused on pastoral issues regarding sexuality and breaking the silence surrounding sexuality in faith communities. Joining Rev. Haffner and Dr. Kate Ott on the program were Dr. Martin Marty, religious historian from the University of Chicago; and Rev. Sara Lamar-Sterling, pastor of First and Summerfield United Methodist Church in New Haven. Click here to listen to or download the interview.
