Eric Eldritch – Moderates this panel discussion with faith leaders from the Lavender Interfaith Collective that will feature a lively and thoughtful overview of LGBTIQ+ perspectives on a variety of summertime holy days across diverse traditions.
The webinar will:
– deepen insight into these observances,
– identify areas of shared meaning across faith traditions, and
– continue building a vibrant community of interfaith clergy and lay leaders each season.
This brief tour of selected summer observances will explore
- How various observances may carry an inherent LGBTIQ+ sensibility;
- How has the community’s practice transformed it into an LGBTIQ+‑affirming expression of faith?
The aim is to help participants become familiar with these traditions and inspire further exploration.
The Lavender Interfaith Collective (LInC) is a diverse, spiritually rich network of LGBTIQ+* and allied faith leaders rooted in many religious traditions and practices. We learn with one another, lead alongside one another, and cultivate spaces where queer wisdom and interfaith collaboration can flourish. Throughout this webinar series, we explore the historical and evolving language of Queer as a noun and Queering as a verb, noticing how common practices emerge separately and across traditions.
