Former CNYHA Secretary, the brilliant Gwen Blodgett (formerly Bradshaw), will be talking to us about her experiences working with Recovering From Religion. RfR provides support and resources for those who are changing, doubting, or leaving their faith.

Gwen Blodgett spent the majority of her life in a fundamentalist evangelical background living and teaching extreme religious ideas. She has been a missionary, pastor‘s wife, Christian bookstore owner, gospel clown, and a teacher and advocate of purity culture. Gwen now lives full-time in a clothing optional community and frequently goes days without clothes. She is the host of Gwensday, a weekly talk/music show on Nude Radio. She has found the principles of nudist lifestyle enjoyable and a source of healing for her own religious trauma.

Gwen joined RfR as a helpline agent in the summer of 2019 and currently serves on the RfR board and as the project director for RfR 3.0 an initiative to improve the technology used at RfR.

Edit 7/22/22: Two things:

1. We will be starting closer to 10:30 am, because we can’t get in to set up until the library opens at 10. Feel free to come early to help us arrange chairs, have some coffee, or just visit!

2: We are going to try to Zoom this meeting, so that folks who can’t be there in person can still attend. This will be our first time trying this, so bear with us if it doesn’t work! If it works, this will be the link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7630427646
