LGBTQIA+ People and the Bible: It’s Okay to Say Gay


2022-06-01 19:00 2022-06-01 20:00 America/Los_Angeles LGBTQIA+ People and the Bible: It’s Okay to Say Gay

These sessions take a very clear, historically sensitive approach to Scriptural texts that have been misinterpreted in order to exclude and shame people who identify as LGBTQIA+. This will not be a forum to debate, but rather a time to make plain the historical and linguistic contexts of these passages. In so doing, it will become clear that these texts cannot be used to justify the exclusion of people in the LGBTQIA+ community. Both sessions will take place on Zoom. Please email or call the Church Office to RSVP (fcc@fccpomona.org; 909-622-1144).
