In the wake of #crcSynod, many ask "What's next?" Many of us are taking time to mourn and pray. Along with All One Body, we declare "all things must work together for [our] salvation"—and by extension, that of all God's queer children. Please stay tuned! hesedprojectcrc.org/contact-2/
#CRCsynod Lament for the church. Lament for all who will leave. Lament for those who can’t leave, especially the queer kids who will grow up in a denomination where LGBTQ+ exclusion is entrenched. Lord have mercy!
Making the choice, as an adult, to live a life of singleness and celibacy is a faithful and holy choice for someone to make, for any reason. Being told as an adolescent that you have to make that choice or go to hell? Not the same. #crcsynod
Tonight is a hard night for me. Reading tweets from friends online following the actions of #CRCSynod regarding the Human Sexuality Report (HSR). The actions taken are hard on the entire LGBTQ+ community...but especially hard for me. (1/5)
So heartening to see the many who gathered at #CRCSynod to witness to inclusion, welcome, and love as the delegates debate the Human Sexuality Report.
LGBTQ+ Pride is not the opposite of humility, but rather the opposite of shame. We are rejecting the lies that have told us we don’t belong, that we are somehow abnormal or sick or sinful. We are refusing to live in shame any longer.
A Way Forward for Synod 2022: Three pastors with Synod experience and one long-serving lay-leader share their analysis of the HSR Overtures. hesedprojectcrc.org/learn/?fbclid=…
You don't have to choose between your faith and your identity! 🏳️🌈
Is the HSR Report trustworthy? Two letters that reveal serious flaws in the process and the resulting report. These letters, from the “promotor fidei” and the pastor who proposed that idea during Synod 2016, raise important questions for Synod 2022. hesedprojectcrc.org/learn/?fbclid=…
This Guide serves as a resource for LGBTQ+ Christians considering an advanced education in theology or biblical studies, and an overview of how students can discern which educational environment is right for them. buff.ly/3oQbeqB
This weekend, whether you are a mother or not, I pray you'll let yourself be mothered by the God who is preparing a table for you, whose Goodness and Love are searching for the lost parts of you even this moment, who cannot wait to welcome you home.
SEEKING GOD’S FACE: FORTY DAYS OF PRAYER We invite you to join us and others in the CRC to pray in these 40 days leading up to Synod 2022. network.crcna.org/prayer/seeking…
"My first two years of university were some of the most gut-wrenchingly difficult years I’ve ever experienced. Back then I was deeply entrenched in the closet, knowing that I was definitely not straight, but also trusting no one with that secret." hesedprojectcrc.org/christopher-go…
I come from churches where gay people were called evil and abominations, but about a decade ago things started to shift for me. Last Sunday, I shared some of my journey of becoming fully affirming of LGBTQ+ folks. I am not affirming in spite of Scripture, but because of it.
If you have questions about traditional teachings on sexuality, read this article on how Dr. David Gushee worked through those questions and changed his mind. hesedprojectcrc.org/learn/#a13ligh…
