All are welcome to join us online. \nFeaturing David Hayward – the cartoonist NakedPastor\, Shylo Rosborough\, Singer-Songwriter Kate Reid\, and Rev. Mark Chiang!  \nDavid Hayward\, aka the NakedPastor\, will share how he became a friend to LGBTQ+ people and is now considered by many to be an ally. He will also explain why he expresses himself and his ideas through his art and cartoons online. He will also share several of these through slides during his presentation. \nKate Reid: Slam poetry meets folk music meets LGBTQ+ themed tunes in singer-songwriter Kate Reid. Kate is funny\, passionate\, queer as a three-dollar bill\, and is sure to entertain. Kate will perform music and screen their recent short film on gender identity! \nRev. Mark Chiang: The Cultural Dynamics of Queer and Trans Ministry. The experience of queerness varies across the world. Without an awareness of our cultural differences\, we risk causing harm when engaging in ministry with LGBTQ+ newcomers to Canada when imposing our Canadian understanding of sexual identity. This workshop will introduce you to the scholarship of queer post-colonial theologians from Latin America\, Asia\, and Africa\, who demonstrate the role colonialism plays in shaping our debates on sexuality. \nShylo Rosborough: Transgender & Christian: A New Look at Gender in the Bible.

SUMMARY:Breaking the Gender Binary\, One Word at a Time
DESCRIPTION:Conversations about gender diversity and the power of language\, 6:00PM in AB and SK\, 7:00PM in MB and NW ON. \nWhat is gender inclusive language and how does it have the power to embrace or exclude non-binary\, Two Spirit\, trans\, agender\, and gender queer people? Join us for a practical discussion about evolving language and personal perspectives on its importance. All welcome.\nThe Zoom link is here. Need to phone in? 1-855 703 8985 (Canada Toll-free) and enter meeting ID\n940 3191 7505\nPassword: 492676 \nThis gathering is especially recommended for Regional Council delegates who will be voting on Remit 1 this fall. In the fall of 2020\, delegates to the regional annual meeting will be voting on a remit to make a small but important change to the Basis of Union. Current wording about eligibility for ministry uses “men and women”\, and the wording would be changed to “all people”\, to reflect a diversity of gender identities. (Further background is here.)
