 Justin R.
Cannon - Founder of
Inclusive Orthodoxy
 n 2002,
Justin began his own personal quest for knowledge in what is
representative of a growing number of gay Christians seeking to know
what the Bible says about homosexuality. What he discovered through
in-depth Bible study began his personal journey out of the shadows
of self-hate and lies, and resulted in the publication of his own
study The Bible, Christianity, & Homosexuality
and eventually the founding of Inclusive Orthodoxy (as
TruthSetsFree.net) in the Spring of
2005.
Justin
embraces a very ecumenical perspective that recognizes a deep sense
of unity among all Christians that transcends the walls of
denominations. Justin has been recognized among
OUT Magazine’s Top 100 LGBT achivers of 2006 and was honored
as one of Instinct Magazine's twenty-five Leading Men of
2007. He is a graduate of Earlham
College in Richmond, IN and is currently
attending the Church Divinity School of the Pacific (http://www.cdsp.edu)
as he pursues priesthood
within the Episcopal Church.
Nancy & Richard
Cannon - Support
for Parents
 ancy
and Richard have been actively involved in the faith community since they first met in an Episcopal
intentional community in Detroit's inner city thirty years ago. As
lay leaders, Richard was head of a non-profit housing corporation
and Nancy served as the associate pastor. In more recent years they
have pursued their love for art and music. Being the first
ones Justin came out to, they have walked with Justin
through his journey, and have dealt with the many questions and
concerns that most parents of LGBT children face. Nancy and Richard
have joined Inclusive Orthodoxy in a desire to make
themselves available to others who may be struggling or in need of
support, especially parents and friends of LGBT individuals.
