Stephen Barry: Deconversion not so Anonymous

Published: March 4, 2020, 2 p.m.

b'This week\\u2019s show is a\\xa0Deconversion (not so) Anonymous\\xa0episode. My guest this week is Stephen Barry. Stephen was a Seventh Day Adventist who deconverted while attending college studying theology. When he was exposed to other ideas and other people even within his own faith tradition, this small amount of scrutiny led to deconversion. After losing the community of the black church, Stephen has found secular community. Though he notes we have a long way to go to be more inclusive of people of color in the secular community. Stephen is a musician and a music critic. He blogs about this love of music with great insight on Tublr. We discuss explicitly spiritual music and how we interpret it post-deconversion. Stephen\\u2019s break down of the H.E.R. song, \\u201cLord is Coming.\\u201d
