Transgender Awareness and Understanding
Sunday Sep 23rd 11th Hour discussion after Worship (11:30 to 1:30)The Adult Faith Exploration Ministry invites you to attend an 11th hour session on Sunday September 23rd in the Palmer Room to learn about what it means to be transgender. Find out what the letters in LGBTQIA stand for. Learn about gender identities and the myriad terms that are evolving to capture the transgender experience. Explore why the Christian teaching of unconditional love and welcoming all with joy is so important for the transgender community. A light lunch will be served.
Anne Hoenicke is the proud parent of a non-binary, gender nonconforming 24-year-old whose pronouns are they/them/their. She will be presenting information that she has learned – from both of her 20-something children, from books, from presentations and from organizations such as SpeakOUT and PFLAG. Reverends Will and Judy will also make some remarks. Please come and bring your learning heart with you!
