A FREE workshop offered at Nineveh twice a year. Bring your curiosity and questions!
What does it mean to be made in the image of God? What does it mean to be queer? What queer characters are present in scripture? How does scripture portray gender roles? How can we deal with the clobber passages? What is a healthy response to the weaponization of the Bible? These are a few of the questions we will engage with during this FREE workshop led by Pr. Wes. Lunch will be provided! All LGBTQIA+ folx and Allies are invited to join us. |
