Pride History Presentation
May 28, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Join the ELPC Justice Committee for a Pride History Presentation following Sanctuary worship on Sunday, May 28. A light lunch will be provided.
This presentation will be led by Jason Van Ness and will examine the LGBTQIA+ equal rights movement and Pride events over the past 50 years. The presentation will highlight key social and political events that have dovetailed with Pride events in the past, and considerations for organizing efforts moving forward. Following the presentation, there will be a panel discussion with LGBTQIA+ clergy in the Greater Pittsburgh region, who will discuss the future of Christianity and the LGBTQIA+ community.
Our congregation is a proud participant in LAMP (LGBTQIA+ Affirming Ministries of Pittsburgh), along with other affirming Presbyterian Churches in Pittsburgh. We are excited to again celebrate Pride in Pittsburgh. While there are many Pride events sponsored by different groups and in different neighborhoods, the two Pride events LAMP will be participating in this year are:
- Pittsburgh Pride March and Parade, coordinated by QBurgh on behalf of Trans YOUniting and the Pittsburgh Pride Group on Saturday, June 3, in downtown and the North Shore.
- We also will participate in People’s Pride PGH March and Festival on Sunday, June 25, in Swissvale.
Keep a lookout for more details that will be posted near the Highland entrance monitor, including parade maps and times. Come out and celebrate while we share God’s love with all of God’s people!
