Greetings Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I missed worshipping with you all this past Sunday, but was blessed to be able to be part of a historic event in SEPA Synod's first ever overnight camp for LGBTQ high school youth. It was good to be in the mountains (and also a reminder of winter), and the camp was just one amazing moment after another.
Another amazing experience was shared by a small group last night when photographer Meaghan Hull, Drexel '07, gave a talk on her work which has been hanging in the Fellowship Hall for the past five months. It was interesting to hear how the project came about, and the challenges of capturing fear (or lack thereof) two-dimensionally. After some probing questions which were well-answered, we helped Meaghan (sadly) remove the photographs. Meaghan does think that they will be shown again in the church one of the other subjects serves, so stay tuned...
"Draft Social Statement on HUMAN SEXUALITY" will become the study at Sunday Forum at 9:30 AM each week in the Social Hall..
Copies of the draft statement will be available. It is also available online at www.elca.org/faithfuljourney for download and printing (64 pages).
This is the fourth social statement study in the Church in the past several years. The UniLu group wil study and discuss the draft pages and send feedback to the ELCA as input into the final Statement that will be proposed to the national Church-wide Assembly in the summer of 2009.
The proposed statement deals with the broad spectrum of sexuality issues and includes the questions of same gender unions and the ordination of GLBTQ persons. The subject is interesting, divisive (in some quarters of the church) and your input is important.
Join us on Sundays at 9:30 AM beginning on April 6. This week we will introduce the topic and provide a brief history of the "Faithful Journey" project in the ELCA. We will also update the latest status of GLBTQ ordination.
We'll have the coffee on for you.
For response to questions or for information, talk with Dick Linderman. See 'ya!
