Description
Christianity has traditionally been seen as a patriarchal and heterosexual institution. As time has moved forward, this stance has become viewed as marginalizing and discriminatory. It was from this dissatisfaction with the church and the ongoing evolution of liberation and feminist theologies that queer theology emerged.
The
word ‘Queer’ is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities,
who do not identify as heterosexual or cisgender (people who
identify with their gender at birth). Queer theology is inclusive
of individuals’ sexual and gender identity and allows the LGBTQ+
community to reclaim their space in Christianity.
This
workshop will go into the evolution of queer theology from the
Roman Catholic and Wiccan perspectives. Learn
how these paths are connected with the Divine Feminine and the ways
both religions incorporate a non-binary gender in spiritual
spaces.
During the workshop, you will learn more about the history and
prominent voices in the movement. It includes time for lecture,
discussion, imaginative prayer, and journaling.
The
program will be held through Zoom and we will be sending you the
meeting link once you register!
