Joy and Lament: Statement from Queer Clergy Caucus
The Northern Illinois Queer Clergy Caucus celebrate the gains made at General Conference and call United Methodists to an affirming, not just neutral, stance.
Saturday, January 25, 9am - 12 noon
Chicago Northwestern District
This year our LEAD Event will focus on our strategic goals of Discipleship, Anti-Racism, and Vital Congregations through the lens of Christian community development and organizing.
We are pleased to have our own Rev. Dr. Felicia LaBoy facilitate. Dr. LaBoy has written and taught about Wesleyan Methodology and the practice of the sacraments related to community development. Her work is also focused on racism and classism.
It is sure to be an exciting morning with lots of practical insights for your leaders! We will begin with an opening worship and then roll up our sleeves for a couple of hours of interactive learning and dreaming.
Cost: $10/person or $75 per church. A light breakfast will be served. Check in begins at 8:15am.
