“As we wait and reflect during the season of Advent, looking toward the joy of Christmas, I firmly believe that we will achieve a world in which LGBTQ people everywhere are protected and thriving, and that LGBTQ people of faith are able to feel the joy of living into every aspect of our identities. I believe that a change is, in fact, gonna come. Would it be so.” Michael Vazquez | Director of HRC Foundation’s Religion and Faith Program

Join us for this four-week, live Advent exploration of the synthesis of living a fully integrated life as a queer Christian.  Led by blogger, pastor and queer Christian, Kimberly Knight Laskowski. Learn more about Kimberly here.

We will explore a matrix of human experience, scripture, tradition, and spiritual practices that help LGBTQ+ Christians claim their sacred worth and flourish in life and faith. We will engage sacred and secular texts, video excerpts, denominational resources and our own stories as LGBTQ+ people of faith.

Topics explored:

• What scripture does and does not say about homosexuality
• Navigating the intersection of being queer and Christian (coming out as queer in Christian communities and coming out as Christian in queer communities)
• Finding local communities of faith that are open and affirming
• Introduction to Queer theology
• Contemplative practices
• Sacred storytelling
• Faithful allyship

This is being offered on Sundays during Advent as an online, live course using Zoom. You will receive the Zoom login information after registration.

We will meet Sunday’s at 7 p.m. Central European Time. Check World Time Buddy to see what time this will be where you are.
