Dear Friends in Faith,
Preparing for Pride, June is Pride Month for much of the world, it is a time to honour the history, resilience, and contributions of LGBTQ+ people, while also recognising the ongoing journey toward equality, dignity, and inclusion. As we prepare to celebrate Pride Month, we give thanks for the diversity of God’s creation and the dignity of every person. This month will offer an opportunity to reflect on Christ’s call to love one another with compassion, humility, and grace. May our church continue to be a place of welcome, understanding, and faithful community, where all people are reminded that they are loved by God.
Pride Worship Resources can be located in the Resource Bank and if you have other resources please share them with me.
Can I also please share the following book with you which will be on sale from July.
A Queer Lectionary. (Im)proper Readings from the Margins – Year B (Year A available also)
“A groundbreaking compendium of sermons that provide queer and inclusive readings of the Sundays and major feasts of Year B in the Revised Common Lectionary.“
This pioneering work―the second in the series―features incisive commentaries on the Revised Common Lectionary that provide inspiration for writing sermons with a message of liberation. An ideal resource for teaching biblical and queer studies, this volume features contributions from clergy and scholars from a variety of liturgical traditions, including the Episcopal Church, United Church of Christ, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Metropolitan Community Churches, and more.”
