SUMMARY:Theology\, Identity\, and Me: An Affirming Study of Gender\, Sex\, and Human Sexuality
DESCRIPTION:As First Church embarks on its 10th year as a Reconciling Congregation\, we invite the congregation into a deep exploration of Christian thought\, natural sciences\, and Church history in relation to gender\, sex\, and human sexuality. Using a three-part video course and discussion questions from the Reconciling Ministries Network\, we will seek to understand gender expression and sexual identity in connection to our faith as well as seek ways to practice radical hospitality and grow as a welcoming and affirming community of faith. \n“When we seek to understand each person’s sacred worth\, we can better honor the beauty of God’s creation and our kin.” – Reconciling Ministries Network \nVideo presenters: Liam M. Hooper\, M.Div.\, (He/Him)\, Rev. Quest Hunter (They/Them)\, Rev. H.N. Gibson (They/Them/Theirs)\, Ophelia Hu Kinney (She/Her)\, and Rev. Anjie Peek Woodworth (She/Her) \nFirst Church Facilitator: B.J. Birkhahn-Rommelfanger \nPlease register here: https://onrealm.org/faithatfirst/PublicRegistrations/Event?linkString=OWM5ZWI0ZTUtNGYyNS00YTJlLWE4MjYtYjA3NDAxMjUzZjVi
