b'Claire Willet is a powerful storyteller. Her plays are insightful and her Twitter threads impressive! Brian met Claire at an Ex-Gay Survivor conference years ago and it has been wonderful to see her thrive and flourish as a creative storyteller.\\xa0\\n \\nClaire is a playwright, novelist, and former Catholic youth minister. Her most recent projects include \\u201cHow Can I Keep From Singing?\\u201d, a play about the intersection of Catholicism and queerness. Her play \\u201cDear Galileo\\u201d, which explores the intersection of Catholicism and astrophysics, has been workshopped across the country and her first novel, \\u201cThe Rewind Files\\u201d, was published in 2015.\\n \\nWe talk with Claire about how her art embodies the intersection of queerness, spirituality, and creativity. She discusses what it means to her to remain in a religion that has caused so much harm and how telling her story through creative writing has been a therapeutic way to unpack and reconstruct her faith.\\n \\nResources:\\nSocial Media: Twitter @clairwillet, IG clairewillettpdx\\nhttp://clairewillettwrites.com/\\xa0\\nThe Rewind Files by Claire Willett\\xa0\\nEx-gay Survivor Conference video\\xa0\\xa0\\n \\nJoin the online community Sanctuary Collective.\\xa0\\nIf you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at patreon.com/queertheology.\\n \\nEPISODE TRANSCRIPT\\n\\n \\nThe post The Power of Story with Claire Willet appeared first on Queer Theology.'
