The LGBTQ Ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles is gearing up to make God’s love tangible at Pride events around the diocese in the wake of accelerated targeting of LGBTQ people in general and transgender people in particular. The Sacred Resistance Task Force is continuing to organize and mobilize to defend the dignity and human rights of all people, especially those targeted because of their immigration and refugee status.
“We are not living in ordinary times and the struggle is real,” LGBTQ Ministry organizers said.
The LGBTQ Ministry and the Sacred Ground Task Force invite all to join in celebrating the ongoing work of becoming Beloved Community in the Diocese of Los Angeles, at a festive brunch hosted at the Episcopal Residence by Bishop John Taylor and Canon Kathy O’Connor on Saturday, May 17 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
“This joint event will be an opportunity not only to share food and fellowship, but to remember the roots of resilience and resistance that have brought us this far on the journey — and to recommit to the challenges ahead as we move forward together. It will also be a chance for us to honor and give thanks for Bishop John’s unwavering support for this prophetic work during his episcopate as we prepare for the election of our next bishop and a new chapter for the Diocese of Los Angeles,” event organizers wrote.
