What Everyone Can Learn from Gay and Queer Spirituality

How a Small Community Is Transforming American Religion

An evening conversation with Rev. Brandan Robertson, Kelly Crouch, and Rev. Rich Tafel

Swedenborg House | 2023 Q Street NW, Washington, DC

Join us at Swedenborg House for an honest, warm, and wide-ranging conversation about sexuality and the spiritual life. LGBT Americans are a small community, and some of the biggest changes in American culture and religion over the past generation have come from it: new understandings of marriage and family, new conversations about identity and gender, and congregations across the country rethinking who belongs at the table. What can this community teach all of us? These questions belong to everyone. How to love faithfully, honestly, and well is a question for every marriage and every friendship. Many of us are parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends of LGBT people, and many of our churches are working out how to welcome everyone with integrity. Anyone who has ever felt different, or called to something unexpected, will find wisdom in the spiritual lives of people who have lived at the edges. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, straight, married, single, or simply curious, you are welcome.
