Audio - Ten minutes on "Liberties" from Xchange 2014

On Thursday and Friday I attended the first Xchange summer school.

Our topics were the Arts, the Media, Liberties and History. I gave short input on Liberties from an LGBT perspective. 

Uganda’s legisation: shame for Christians everywhere. Dec 20, 2013

What has passed this week is slightly amended.
