April 24: Biblical Affirmations: What the Bible Says and Doesn’t Say about LGBTQ+ Belonging
Contrary to politically charged rhetoric, the Bible does not categorize modern sexual orientations or gender identities as vice or virtue. In tonight’s presentation, Dr. Anna Sieges Beal, Bible scholar and professor at Gardner-Webb University, will use careful analysis to demonstrate that the witness of Scripture moves in the direction of embracing LGBTQ+ persons.
We’ll begin by “de-clobbering” the “clobber passages” and end with a look at the newborn church described in Acts as a way forward to full affirmation of LGBTQ+ identities.
Please join us for a fellowship meal from 5:15 to 6 PM.
From 6 to 7 PM on most Wednesdays, following announcements and prayer, we engage various topics of faith with speakers, panels, and group discussion. Please see our youth and children’s ministry pages for information about concurrent programming for these ages.
