It was very special to join together with a variety of TBK members and friends in the Pride Parade this past Saturday. All together, there were 25-30 TBK members who walked with us or cheered from the sidelines of the parade.
The importance of this event for the religious community is that we make a statement for the entire year: our doors are open. We embrace those who have an LGBTQ identity and their extended family. This is rooted in one of the primary biblical ideas, that we see all creation as created in God’s image. All are welcome, all are included, and we are stronger when we are not homogeneous.
I write this here and I hope to emphasize this throughout the year. If you are questioning, if you are struggling, if you are in need of support for yourself or in your relationships with your family and friends, I am available to you…at any time and in any way.
