The Bible's Witness to Welcome of LGBTQIA+ People: Disarming the Clobber Passages with the Rev. Nanette Sawyer

Through in-depth study of a few of the texts that have been used to condemn the LGBTQIA+ community, we will be reclaiming the Bible as a tool of inspiration rather than a weapon of domination and exclusion. We will reassert the good news of Jesus Christ and God’s expansive and inclusive love grounded in God’s vision of a diverse, abundant, beautiful world rooted in peace and justice

The Rev. Nanette Sawyer is a PC(USA) pastor at Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago, with responsibility for relational small group ministries, including the LGBTQIA+ fellowship group (Widen Our Welcome – WOW), interfaith relations, and racial equity concerns.
