The Magic City Acceptance Project’s Communities of Faith Committee and the Human Rights Campaign Alabama invite you to the inaugural “A Generous Faith: Walking With Our LGBTQ+ Community” conference on November 5-6 at Temple Emanu-El and Highlands United Methodist Church in Birmingham.

This statewide convening of interfaith leaders, both clergy and lay people, has been deliberately planned to be accessible for faith leaders whose personal and congregational journeys will be varied as they relate to understanding, acceptance, or advocacy for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer-identifying (LGBTQ+) community members.

Rev. Roland Stringfellow of the Pacific School of Religion will offer the Thursday evening plenary session at Temple Emanu-El. On Friday morning, participants are invited to join a day of conversation and breakout sessions based on three different theological and communal tracks: Understanding, Acceptance, and Advocacy.

A group of Beloveds is planning to attend to discuss our LGBTQ+ advocacy, and will take advantage of the group registration rate.

This conference is for you if:

…you would like to understand how to be in ministry with LGBTQ+ people.

…you would like to move your community of faith towards greater acceptance and affirmation of LGBTQ+ persons.

…you would like to figure out how draw on spiritual and theological resources for advocacy with LGBTQ+ persons.

We hope you’ll leave this conference equipped to grow your ministry not only with LGBTQ+ persons, but also friends, family, and allies!

Contact Jennifer Sanders for more information on attending with Beloved.
