This year
coincide on Sunday, October 11, 2020.
Some experience these two as painfully irreconcilable. In my life, they’ve been humbly woven together through God’s prodigious grace.
I take this moment to reflect on how far I’ve come out.... and how far we’ve come as a queer coalition of communities as well as people of deep abiding faith.I offer thanks to our elders and ancestors who cut paths of awareness and acceptance that have made my journey less burdensome and threatening, and whose faithful sacrifices and hopeful steadfastness have opened minds and hearts to the love and healing available though the Holy Spirit.
With God’s help, may I be in the right places at the right times with words and actions that help continue to pave paths of more just equality and loving acceptance for those still burdened by shame and/or fear to live fully as who they are and who they’ve been created to be (helping me/us see and experience more fully the expansiveness of God’s creation and family).
