Three Queer Pastors Address the Question: What Does it Look Like to Have a Flourishing Church and to Share the Abundant Life?

In this presentation, Bethany Joy Winn, Nicholas Hopkins, and Ricardo Tavarez will challenge you to work with the Spirit toward that abundant life.  You will also learn how the church has been missing the diverse gifts that can enrich our worship, strengthen our faith, challenge our traditions, and and reveal new paths of kingdom service.

"Anyone with ears to hear must listen and understand what the Spirit is saying to the Church."
Trigger Warning:  Suicide, Mental Health, Homophobia, and Transphobia. This recording contains material related to the church's treatment of persons who identify as LGBTQ+ and may evoke a strong emotional response.

Jesus Prays for All Believers: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one-- I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
John 17:20-23 (NIV)
