Are you a 2SLGBTQ+ person who’s been harmed by expectations of change—pressured to

Commitment to intersectional justice is not an option if you claim to be shaped by the Jesus story. You can't work for justice for one marginalized group and turn a blind eye to another.

Wendy reflects on systemic racism and the ongoing anti-racism work that Generous Space is committed to: "The reality is, we are all steeped in systemic racism." Read the full post here: https://t.co/QBDqsTu8Ti #generousspace #faithfullylgbt #antiracism #justice #liberation

"In the end there will be no injustice, no oppression, no exclusion….no stained glass ceilings and no second class citizens.
But now we groan."

"Lent is a time of reflection, prayer, fasting, acts of kindness, and repentance. It is a time of preparation and purification. It is a communal practice that each individual engages. Lent gives us the space to take our next best step." https://t.co/X8c8g5frGu #imaffirming #Lent

The deep love, compassion, and longing for justice that energized me after years of building relationships with LGBTQ+ people was made to feel untrustworthy by church teaching that prioritized particular historic interpretations over the plight of the people right in front of me.

Changing our mind and engaging in the work of change just might save us from a sense of despair or hopelessness.

If a straight celebrity attends a non-affirming church but says it doesn't define his beliefs - why does he still attend? If you want to follow Jesus, lay your straight privilege down and work for justice for all. https://t.co/pvBkopwvhP

Grateful to my colleague Eric for his reflections on this important topic of radical self love as a revolutionary act

[Generous Space @generousspace]

"Radical self-love, to me, isn’t love that is blind to our flaws and failures, it is profound acceptance of them and proclamation in the face of them that we are enough, and in fact deeply worthy of love and belonging – first and foremost from ourselves."
