Parents of LGBT Children Talk with Clergy About Church Ministry

Once in a while, during our very busy lives, an extraordinary opportunity will present itself; one that holds the promise of touching the minds and hearts of those who take advantage of it. I would, now, like to invite you to such an event, organized by PFLAG, which stands for PARENTS – FAMILIES and FRIENDS of LESBIANS and GAYS.

On Saturday, November 13, from 10 am to 3 pm, a program entitled: LET’S GET TOGETHER AND TALK, will take place. Its aim is to give insight and answers to the many questions being raised about gay people in our society and churches today.

Starting with a viewing of the insightful film, “For the Bible Tells Me So”, it will proceed to lunch and Table Talk about the film. After lunch, a Panel of clergy, representing a significant number of denominations, will introduce themselves, and explain what their Church is doing to promote the acceptance and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people within their congregations.

After these introductions, all those present---parents, friends, seekers of information, peace and justice activists---everyone will have the opportunity to dialogue with Clergy and each other.

This program will take place at the Mission Helper Center, 1001 West Joppa Rd., Towson, 21204. There is no charge, but a free-will offering will be accepted.

If you can’t accept gay people because of what the Bible says, this program is for you.
If you think gay people deserve “a fair shake” and you want to help, this program is for you.
If you think gay people are unjustly treated, and you want to do something about it, this program is for you.
If you don’t know what to think about gay people, this program is for you.

I urge you to mark your calendar for Saturday, Nov. 13, and save it for this enlightening event.
