Over the past two decades, our congregations and communities have become more affirming of people and more intentional in our efforts to welcome all God’s people. Even so—even as we work for justice and equity--we frequently struggle to live into our frequent declaration that “All are welcome,” and many LGBTQIA+ don’t feel safe or at home in our churches, our state, or our nation.
At Covenant Conversation: Memphis, Presbyterians will gather to discuss how we can help one another take next steps in extending the church’s inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people, whatever those steps may need to be. We heard the experience of queer folks in the church and share practical examples of ministry that makes a difference. In worship, learning, fellowship and conversation, we discussed ways to widen our table and deepening our welcome of all. Registration will open at 9:30am and cost $20 per person, including lunch.
