The American Trappist Monk, theologian and poet, Thomas Merton, a regular participant in interfaith work, once wrote – God speaks to us in three places: in scripture, in our deepest selves, and in the voice of the stranger. Here at Tulsa Metropolitan Ministry, we say that we don’t have to believe alike to love alike, and we try to live that. How does our faith shape how we see the world? How does our personal faith tradition influence our opinions on the news of the day? In an age in which religion can sometimes be weaponized, how do we strive to find God speaking to each of us, through each of us? Welcome to Intersections, a podcast designed to bring together the diversity of faithful people in Tulsa for dialogue on the issues that impact us all.

Exploring History Curriculum: A Deep Dive with Dr. Karlos Hill and Dr. Brian Hosmer
<p>You're about to embark on a journey through the fascinating, sometimes tumultuous terrain of history education. Renowned educators Dr. Karlos Hill, from the Clara Looper Department of African American Studies at the University of Oklahoma, and Dr. Brian Hosmer, head of the OSU History Department, are in the driver seat, providing expert insights. This conversation is a response to the growing attacks on the history curriculum across the nation, a phenomenon we dissect to understand the motivations behind it.</p><p>Let's brace ourselves as we plunge deeper into the world of history, its importance in our lives, and the standards that govern its practice. How essential is it to cultivate a historical consciousness, and what are the implications of its absence? Our expert guests guide us through these questions, opening a window into the role of critical race theory in understanding and addressing institutional racism in America. The tensions surrounding this theory are also unraveled, offering a clearer view of the societal structures that underpin racism.</p><p>Peeling back the layers further, we focus on the dangers of narrowing history down to a static list of facts and the consequences of an education system that leans heavily on a 'founding fathers' narrative. The conversation steers to the deeply personal side of history, discussing the trauma faced by marginalized communities and the healing potential of an inclusive history education. Finally, we learn from the past, reflecting on how the historical profession's previous approaches to discrimination can illuminate our way forward. So, fasten your seatbelt and join us in this enlightening journey through the past, present, and future of history education.</p>

Navigating Gender: At the Intersection of Transgender Care and Discrimination
<p>In this episode of Intersections, Rev. Chris Moore and guests Aiden Waidner-Smith and Attorney Josh Payton discuss the recent advancement of a bill in the Oklahoma Senate that would prohibit gender-affirming care and gender reassignment surgery to transgender minors. They discuss how the bill seems to fly against “parental rights” arguments made on other issues and how it ignores the best practices of virtually every major medical organization in the nation, all of which endorse gender affirming care as life saving. They discuss the complexity of the many issues at play here and how deep care ought to be the first driver for all of that discussion, instead of political rhetoric and uninformed, and often anecdotal, assertions.</p><h2><strong>Resources on Legislation</strong></h2><p><strong>https://www.acluok.org</strong></p><p><strong>https://www.freedomoklahoma.org</strong></p><p><strong>https://www.lambdalegal.org/blog/state/oklahoma</strong></p><h2><strong>Find Your Legislator:</strong></h2><p><strong>http://www.oklegislature.gov/findmylegislature.aspx </strong></p><h2><strong>Transgender Resources in Tulsa:</strong></h2><p><strong>https://www.okeq.org/transgender-support.html</strong></p><p><strong>https://www.diversityfamilyhealth.com</strong></p><p><strong>https://www.yst.org </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><h2><strong>Crisis Help:</strong></h2><p><strong>https://www.thetrevorproject.org</strong></p><p><strong>Trans Lifeline: (877) 565-8860</strong></p><p><strong> National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: (800) 273-8255 </strong></p><p><strong>(online chat available) </strong></p><p><strong>Josh Payton’s Law Firm:</strong></p><p><strong>https://joshuapaytonlaw.com </strong></p>
