SUMMARY:Queer Virtue Lenten Series
DESCRIPTION:Based on the book “Queer Virtue” by the Rev. Elizabeth Edman\, this series is designed to help us think about Jesus’ demand that we challenge – or ‘queer’ – thinking that pits us against one another. The ultimate question is: how can we live our faith and be the church more effectively?  \nThe LGBTQ2S+ community persistently looks to the margins to see who isn’t yet included and decide what we’re going to do about it.  This “path” bears remarkable similarity to the path that Christians are called to walk.” Thus\, queer experience is a lens that can help Christians better understand and navigate an authentic Christian path. \nYou’re invited to utilize the customized five-week study to lead the series for your congregation or small group\, or you can register as an individual for the Region-led sessions: \n5-week series: Monday nights 6:30-8pm PST\, 7:30pm-9pm MST \n\nFeb 22 – Identity/Pride\nMarch 1  – Risk/Coming Out\nMarch 8 – Touch\nMarch 15 – Adoption/Authenticity\nMarch 22 – Scandal/Hospitality
