Queer Intersections with Matthew 25 — Workshop

The Matthew 25 vision of the PC(USA) lists building congregational vitality, dismantling structural racism, and eradicating systemic poverty as the three main foci with three additional intersectional priorities. This workshop from Covenant Conversation: East Iowa/Great Rivers explored the intersections between the Matthew 25 foci and the lives and realities of our neighbors who are LGBTQIA+ people.
