Three evenings of conversations and teaching…
In October 2022, CapChurch’s pastors and Governance Team invited the community to three evenings of teaching and conversation focussed on LGBTQ2S+ inclusion in our church.
The purpose of these nights was to share our convictions emerging from our last several years of study, listening, and discussion: that people of all gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations must be lovingly welcomed into full participation in the life, ministry, and leadership of our church. As leaders, we did not presume all would share our convictions by the end of these evenings, but nevertheless, we sought to listen well and to learn from one another in the process.
Each evening included similar elements: teaching, a personal interview, and community response.
Walter Brueggemann, one of the world’s most renowned biblical scholars, whose scriptural scholarship includes a specific focus on the Hebrew prophets, taught from 1961 to 1986 at the Eden Theological Seminary in Webster Groves, Mo. Born in northeastern Nebraska, he earned a Ph.D. in education from St. Louis University in 1974.
Karen Keen and Wesley Hill speak at Wheaton College addressing the question: “Is Sex Difference Essential to Marriage?” It’s worth watching the whole thing to see some of the distinctions between our views.
