SUMMARY:Queer & Faithful Cinema: “Wonderfully Made — LGBTQ+R(eligion)”
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:Walking the Way: Camino de Santiago
DESCRIPTION:A LeaderSHIFT Offering with World Pilgrim Global Education\nWalking the Way: Camino de Santiago\nSaturday May 8 – Monday May 17\, 2027\nIn-Person\nFor more than a thousand years\, pilgrims have walked to the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela where the remains of St. James\, one of Jesus’ apostles are buried. Pilgrims have followed many routes\, the most popular one being over Northern Spain on the French Way. To this day\, pilgrims from around the world continue to make this journey following many different routes\, each person walking for their own reasons. \nMaybe for you it’s a spiritual journey\, a chance to get away from life and reflect. Maybe this will be a chance to challenge yourself physically and mentally and to walk with other pilgrims sharing the experience together. Maybe it’s a chance to be in nature walking through the beautiful countryside\, along ocean beaches and ancient villages. Your challenge and purpose await you on this journey. \nMore information here: https://leadershiftuccan.org/camino-2027
