UPCOMING EVENTS

STARTING TODAY ~ HOLDING FAITH WITH OUR TRANSGENDER NEIGHBORS


Free Zoom workshop • Monday nights 7 pm PST • Mar. 17-Apr.7


In partnership with Claremont Presbyterian Church

To register go to holdingfaith.org.

 

This is a workshop for allies and wannabe allies—for Christians who want to understand gender identity and the Bible, as well as how to be an ally and support in a time when the trans community is under attack. We'll draw from two excellent resources: Transforming by Austen Hartke, and Beyond a Binary God by Tara Soughers. Together we'll explore how we might find our understanding of God expanded by learning from trans

and non-binary experience.
