Rosaria Butterfield is a British academic, author, and former priest in the Church of England. She is known for her book "The Secret Garden: On Recovery from Sexual Abuse," which details her experiences of sexual abuse and her subsequent conversion to Christianity.

Butterfield was born in 1962 and studied English literature at Oxford University. She then trained for the priesthood at St Stephen's House, Oxford, and was ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1995.

In 2004, Butterfield publicly revealed that she had been in a same-sex relationship for several years. This led to her being removed from her ministry by the Church of England. She subsequently resigned from the priesthood and married her partner.

Butterfield's book "The Secret Garden" was published in 2013 and was met with critical acclaim. The book has been praised for its honesty and insightfulness, and it has helped to raise awareness of the issue of sexual abuse.

In addition to her writing, Butterfield is also a regular speaker at conferences and events on topics such as faith, sexuality, and abuse.

Dr. Carol Tanksley's book "Sexpectations" invites readers to honestly examine their views on sex, love, and relationships—unpacking the influences that have shaped them. The book encourages readers to critically evaluate how their understanding of these topics intersects with their faith.

Many Christians carry hidden shame and confusion about their sexuality. This book seeks to break this cycle by tackling difficult issues such as sexual addiction, varying sexual attractions, and the impacts of past sexual trauma.

"Sexpectations" delves into redefining how individuals understand God's role in their intimate relationships. It emphasizes the importance of breaking free from unhealthy sexual patterns that are not aligned with a positive spiritual life.

The book aims to help readers discover ways to develop a relationship with sex that both honors their faith and promotes healthy, loving connections with others.

Dr. Tanksley's work offers guidance on navigating sexuality, spirituality, and self-understanding within a Christian framework, and is designed to create a path toward a more integrated and fulfilling experience of intimacy.

We all know someone who identifies as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. How can Christians better share Jesus with our loved ones and friends in the LGBT community? What have we gotten wrong? How can we improve? Dr. Christopher Yuan combines his life experiences and his theological and biblical language background to teach a fully gospel-centric approach without any compromise of truth or grace. This will help us to think right (orthodoxy) before doing right (orthopraxy). After this session, Dr. Yuan will be taking questions from the audience.

In His Image is a critical and urgent message designed to equip the church to answer culturally controversial questions about gender and sexuality from a biblical perspective. Every church in America is filled with hurting people asking these tough questions: Can you be gay and be a Christian? What if someone genuinely feels trapped in the wrong body? Did God make me this way? Is change even possible?

This feature-length documentary presents much-needed truth with compassion and clarity through powerful personal testimonies, careful Bible teaching, and scientific evidence.
