Perhaps you are a leader in a congregation which is considering becoming welcoming to lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered persons. Perhaps you are committed deeply to helping other congregations in your denomination become more welcoming of lgbt folks. Either scenario means that this training will be very helpful to you in honing your skills and gaining more knowledge about how to help congregations through those tough conversations toward a more fully inclusive church.
The training has been designed specifically with congregations and their leaders in mind. The training will explore topics which will help you to become a more effective leader in working with congregations on issues related to human sexuality and gender identity for the purpose of helping a congregation discern God's call to become more welcoming and inclusive of lgbt persons.
Topics include faith-based community organizing techniques, congregational conflict and resolution, strategies for helping congregations discern the call to be welcoming, and dealing with difficult conversations around biblical material.
This training is for anyone who is interested in seeing the church become more welcoming, supportive and inclusive of lgbt persons.
Towards a Welcoming and Inclusive Church is supported by a grant from the Arcus Foundation to a coalition of welcoming church programs that includes the GLAD Alliance.
