Prof. Pearcey and Garry Ingraham answer audience questions from their Saturday presentations.

Garry Ingraham grew up in a Christian home, and he struggled with same-sex attraction beginning at an early age. Due in part to the silence of spiritual leaders on issues with which he was struggling, Garry turned away from God and fully embraced a gay identity. While the new sense of acceptance and belonging Garry felt in the gay community was initially intoxicating, it eventually eroded into a profound sense of emptiness. In desperation, Garry came to authentic faith in Christ by surrendering his life. After experiencing years of genuine acceptance, support, and restoration in a healthy, life-giving church, Garry met and married his wife, Melissa. He later served on pastoral staff at a large church in upstate NY for 12 years. Garry is an ordained pastor. He and Melissa founded Love & Truth Network in 2013.

Dr. Collier, MD, FACP is an associate professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical Shool where she serves as the director of the Program on Health, Spirituality, and Religion and as associate program director for the Internal Medicine Residency Program. She presents Health as a Right Relationship. Goals of this presentation: Be fierce supporters of life and able to defend this position at all stages of life. Questions presented: What is Health? Is it a biomedical definition of health? Does abortion disrupt one of the most fundamental relationships, that of mother and child? Is anything we have the technical expertise to do considered healthcare? Rather, is health right relationship, shalom? Relationship of mom and baby is not only at the level of their bodies, but at a cellular level. Relationship, as when Jesus "took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village" Mark 8:23. A challenge to root dignity in the image of God in all human beings. The beginning of a human being is fertilization.
