On Tuesday May 5 from 11 a.m.–12:20 p.m. in the OCC Dining Room, join the ABIDE Inclusive Campus Climate Committee for a Lunch & Learn celebrating LGBTQ-inclusive ministries, and learning from the wisdom of a panel of LGBTQ+ pastors. In an era when LGBTQ+ rights and wellbeing are under increasing attack, the commitment of faith communities to practice inclusivity, care, and justice for and with LGBTQ+ people is a lifeline to many. This event will help you imagine what those ministries look like in specific communities now and in the days to come. Lunch is provided. All are welcome to attend. If you have questions, please contact Cody Sanders (csanders001@luthersem.edu).
