How can we foster understanding, compassion, and connection with LGBTQ+ people and those who feel excluded from our communities? This webinar will explore the themes of outreach, inclusion, and reconciliation, inspired by James Martin S.J.’s insightful book Building a Bridge.
Through engaging discussion, we will reflect on how faith communities can move beyond divisions and embrace a spirit of respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Drawing from real-life examples and Church teachings, we will explore practical ways to create meaningful dialogue and build relationships that reflect Christ’s call to love one another.
Join us for this webinar on how we can strengthen the bonds that unite us all as God’s children!
