Queer Theology & Church Power: Rev. Dr. Charlie Bell on Faith, Truth & the Future

In this episode of 1946: The Culture Shift Tour – UK, Rocky Roggio and Josie Peres sit down with Rev. Dr. Charlie Bell, an Anglican priest, psychiatrist, and theologian whose work bridges science, faith, and identity.

Charlie offers a deeply layered conversation exploring:

• What queer theology actually is — and why it matters

• How the Church of England, as an established church, shapes national culture

• The tension between institutional power and pastoral care

• The differences between UK and US church systems

• How biblical interpretation — including the 1946 mistranslation — continues to impact LGBTQ+ lives

This episode goes beyond surface-level inclusion conversations and asks bigger questions:

What is the Church for?

Who does it serve?

And how can it change?

A powerful conversation about truth, responsibility, and the future of faith.
