LGBT 101

For those new to gender and sexuality justice work, the string of letters in the LGBT acronym can seem overwhelming - not to mention how all of it intersects with our faith and our lives. We'll explore the many dimensions of gender identity and sexual orientation, as well as a variety of ways to approach Scripture and the church rooted in love and care for those who have been excluded or condemned.
