SUMMARY:Queer & Faithful Cinema: “Proper Pronouns”
DESCRIPTION:A Affirming Connections & Pacific Mountain Region Affirming Ministry Offering\nQueer & Faithful Cinema\nMonthly Online Screenings: Friday May 15\, June 26\, July 17\, August 7\nOnline via Zoom\nPIE to Pride season is full of ways to engage your community and dive into Queer Theology. Join us for four monthly film screenings\, each film featuring real life stories of people who have navigated queerness in the context of church\, community and family. A discussion will follow each film that will touch on elements of Queer Theology and Liberating Theology to support the expansion of our own experiences and to support the authentic exploration and articulation of our own faith. \n**Disclaimer** As documentaries\, these films may contain occasional language profanity \nRegister here:\nMay 15 Registration – “Proper Pronouns” follows four transgender ministers in North Carolina as they fight intolerance and discrimination in the Bible Belt and battle narrow-mindedness within the religious community\, fellow state natives\, and their families. \nJune 26 Registration – At General Council 42 the church voted to have a national project of story-sharing and dialogue with people affected by the Church’s 1988 decision. These stories would then help the church to discern if\, and how\, it might live into an apology to the church’s LGBTQ and Two-Spirit people. “The Iridesce Theatre Presentation” is a play in three acts. All the words of the script have emerged from the Iridesce Project\, and are the memories and words of Iridesce participants. \nJuly 17 Registration – “Wonderfully Made — LGBTQ+R(eligion)” is a combined fine art project and feature-length documentary that together strike at the root of anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes by exploring the challenges and aspirations of LGBTQ+ Catholics. The message\, however\, applies to any religious tradition that does not fully embrace our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters. \nAugust 7 Registration – “A Queer’s Guide to Spiritual Living” Blending zine-inspired animation\, spoken word\, and poetry with insightful interview footage\, this lo-fi documentary collage follows four queer people from different religious backgrounds as they explore the intersections of faith and queerness.

SUMMARY:Social Media and Hate: A Virtual Workshop
DESCRIPTION:An Affirming Ministries Offering with Hazel Woodrow\nSocial Media and Hate: A Virtual Workshop\nThursday May 21\, 2026\nOnline\nWe’ve all seen hate show up in our social media feeds. But understanding how these messages spread online – and why they can sometimes be difficult to recognize at first – takes more than good intentions. \nJoin us for a virtual workshop with Hazel Woodrow\, Education Program Manager at the Canadian Anti-Hate Network\, as she walks us through the strategies hate movements use to spread messaging online\, how those strategies affect different communities\, and what each of us can do to push back. \nThis workshop is designed to be accessible across a wide range of experience with social media and online culture. No prior expertise is needed – and even those who spend a lot of time online may find new ways of understanding how these tactics operate at a structural level. \nRegistration: Pay-What-You-Can (suggested $10) \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/social-media-and-hate-a-virtual-workshop-tickets-1988931917907 \n
