Healthy spiritual communities are those that encourage open-ended self-reflection and self-realization, including those that lead us to new truths about our genders and sexualities. How can you cultivate spiritual communities that are grounded in the commitment to support LGBTQ people in our journeys? How can LGBTQ people be proud as people of faith when there is still pervasive anti-faith sentiment in LGBTQ communities? Learn skills, attitude, and knowledge about what, how, and when to bridge these gaps with intentional conversations and a vibrant visibility plan.
