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.

This third annual Skin-in-the-Game workshop provides practical guidance for clergy, children/youth leaders and parents, and features Evanston Township High Shool's Dr. Marcus Campbell, Aracely Canchola, and Taya Kinzie, LSCW, engaging attendees in a deeper look at the interconnectedness of race and well-being. They will reflect on personal identity and biases as related to our relationships with others. You'll learn how healing-centered engagement, restorative practices, and sustaining practices are all key to understanding the needs in the lives of those you serve and support. Register online by August 29. $25 fee includes lunch. CEUs available.
