2018: Toolbox for Navigating Relationships with Church Leaders & Members

Session Description:

Many face complex concerns at the intersection of sexuality, gender, church activity, and faith. Church leaders and members who don’t have lived experience with same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria must pay a price in order to better understand those who do. Failing to honor agency and demanding someone pay that price threatens our integrity, as does refusing to invest in respectful dialogue. Drawing upon existing Church resources, this session provides a toolbox for achieving mutual understanding and greater authenticity in relationships with Church leaders and members.
