Global South Partners
The visiting partners – Rev. Lee Donghwan, Rev. Susanna Kim, Rev. Helder Carlos and Wanda Sue Mavulula, are leaders and advocates working at the intersections of faith, theology, human rights and LGBTQIA+ justice. They bring lived experience and theological insight from communities navigating different social, political and ecclesial realities, including religiously driven stigma and exclusion, criminalization, violence and shrinking civic space. Their stories remind us that justice is not the work of one nation or one church—it is a shared calling that transcends borders.
3 Days Later
On Sundays, we develop a theme in worship grounded in scripture and engaged through a sermon, music, prayer, silence, and contemplation, yet have you ever wanted to talk about it? Join Rev. Bob on Wednesdays from 12 to 1 pm (ish) for conversations that delve a little deeper into the theme from Sunday. Location: Upper Room and online. Join us onsite with your lunch, at your desk, couch, or in the park. The next one will be on Oct. 7th
