Shaking the foundations

A quick update for all you SCMers and supporters out there. I just put the finishing touches on a short audio-video slideshow, What is SCM? An Intro to the Movement which tells a bit about SCM’s vision, our history, and the voices of some of the students involved. Former General Co-Secretary Emily Carr and I worked on this slideshow on the train during our Western tour earlier this year, and we hope you enjoy it (one of these days, we’ll actually have an intro movie to SCM with some interviews).

SCM Conference: Shine!

When I informed one of my online friends that I spent a week hanging out with a bunch of radically left, queer Christians, his response was “ew.” I’m quite certain that it wasn’t the “left” or “queer” thing that made him feel icky. It was the “Christian” thing. I understand his instinctive reaction. There’s a lot of baggage that goes along with the label “Christian.” So let me be clear what the Student Christian Movement is, and what it is not.
