What is this workshop?

“As we seek to deepen and expand the holy work of welcome, inclusion, and celebration of LGBTQIA+ people in the church and society, we can find ourselves asking, “What does LGBTQIA+ mean?” Together we will co-create a safe space to learn helpful skills and tools to support you and your ministry.” -Reconciling Works website

Who should attend?

“The training is great for those who are hoping to support their faith community in ongoing education, or for individuals who have an open heart and mind on learning more about God’s diversity of creation.”  -Reconciling Works Website

You don’t need to be a member of an RIC congregation. All are invited to come and learn.

Training Components:

  • Practice hospitable curiosity to create a safe and inviting learning environment for all
  • Trainers will practice and model Graceful Engagement in support of LGBTQIA+ people
  • Honest conversation about how honoring LGBTQIA+ identities is holy work
