Four Week Study on the LGBTQ
and the Issues before the United Methodist Church
Pender is holding a 4-week study on the issues facing the United Methodist Church around LGBTQ inclusion. From the survey conducted by Just Peace and our team and from the on-going affinity group discussions, the congregation has expressed an interest in such a study. This will be done via zoom. The audio can also be accessed through phone.
We are hoping for a large group so will likely ask everyone to be on mute and raise their questions or make their comments in the chat section. Our presenter will refer to those and include as much as time allows.
