Restore Dialogues: Courageous Conversations on Faith, Sexuality, and Gender Identity create opportunities for Christians with deep theological differences on sexuality and gender identity to move toward one another with deeper compassion and joy.
The purpose of these events is to model, encourage, and elevate thoughtful perspectives on faith, sexuality, and gender identity across theological perspectives in hopes that we all can (1) invite the fruit of the spirit to infuse our conversations on faith, sexuality, and gender identity; (2) learn to befriend folks we typically fear in conversations on faith, sexuality, and gender identity; (3) grow in empathy and understanding of viewpoints with which we don’t typically interact; (4) articulate what we believe and why in compassionate and productive ways in our own communities; (5) create the context through which reconciliation with self, others, and God at the intersection of faith, sexuality, and gender identity becomes possible.
Join us for an evening of dialogue as we explore how to cultivate courageous, productive conversations on these important topics, helping Christians with deep theological differences to move toward one another with deeper compassion and joy. Whether you identify as LGBT+, same-sex attracted, or heterosexual, traditional, conservative, progressive, or liberal, you are welcome and wanted in the conversation.
