2023 JUSTICE SUMMIT - TRANS AND NONBINARY BELONGING IN THE CHURCH

IN-PERSON AND ONLINE REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 16!

This is an in-person/online hybrid event, including a workshop with Central Pacific Conference, United Church of Christ Conference Minister, Rev. Tyler Connoley:

Genderqueer Heroes in the Bible: Join other trans/nonbinary/genderqueer people and cis people familiar with trans/nonbinary experiences to explore genderqueer, trans, and nonbinary stories and identities in the Bible. Learn from Rev. Tyler Connoley to find new perspectives on familiar and neglected stories in Scripture and explore the richness of our biblical texts regarding gender diversity.

The CPC is a cosponsor of this event, because Tyler is a speaker, so all CPC members get to register at a discounted rate, and organizers are committed to making this event an excellent experience for online attendees. 

The 2023 Justice Summit, on October 7, will center on trans and nonbinary belonging in the church. All who are interested in learning more about this justice issue are welcome! View this video by Rev. Noah Brewer-Wallin (they/he) for more. The full-day event will include worship and preaching, workshops, relationship-building and connection.

Workshop options will include an introductory session for people who have had little exposure to the experiences of trans and nonbinary people, as well as sessions for trans and nonbinary people, and cisgender people who have begun to engage the work of fostering trans belonging. The Justice Summit is a hybrid event, with options for in-person or online participation.
