DPOC's April Speaker Circuit
The Democratic Party Orange County's Speaker Circuit is back and better than ever! DPOC is committed to bringing engaging and exciting speakers right here to Orange County.
In his latest book, Defrocked, Frank tells the story of officiating at his son's same-sex marriage and, his subsequent trial by a United Methodist court.
He was defrocked on December 19, 2013, when he refused to uphold the Book of Discipline in its entirety, which would have meant to denounce same-sex marriage rights.
That trial stripped Schaefer of his ordination after more than 20 years of ministry in the nation's largest mainline Protestant denomination.
Following his defrocking, Schaefer became a speaker and activist. Although he was reinstated by the Northeastern Jurisdictional Committee on Appeals on June 26, 2014, he continues to advocate for human rights while also working in a new United Methodist parish in Isla Vista, California.
He will tell us his story of transformation, being thrown out of his church and how he won his place back in! His captivating tale of transformation has a received the positive attention of several media outlets and s a widely sought after speaker. It is truly a compelling story told from another angle, rarely ever told.
You certainly will not want to miss it!
