What does the Bible really say about same-gender relationships? This introductory offering is for anyone seeking to reconcile and affirm one’s sexuality with one’s faith\, as well as those interested in understanding more. Join us as we study a few supposed “clobber passages” through the lens of love and current biblical scholarship. This study will be held in-person on the campus of ELPC in an environment that openly welcomes and celebrates queer people as beloved children of God.* \nWe will meet for five consecutive Tuesdays\, 5:30–6:30 pm.
