talks on inclusion
Join the TU Wesley in a safe and affirming space as we explore the “Clobber Passages” — biblical texts often used to marginalize LGBTQ+ people.
In this series, we’ll approach these passages with a fresh perspective, seeking to reclaim them through inclusive, thoughtful discussion. Together, we’ll challenge harmful interpretations and discover new ways to engage with these scriptures.
1/28 - The Sin of Sodom
2/4 - Leviticus and Deuteronomy
2/11 - New Testament Texts
2/25 - An Ethic of Inclusion
Our guest teacher, Rev. Dr. Sam Powers, is the Senior Pastor of Boston Avenue United Methodist Church. He is an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church and received his Master of Divinity from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University and his Doctor of Ministry from the Saint Paul School of Theology at Oklahoma City University.
All are welcome!
HOW CAN WE NAME A LOVE?
A STudy on the Names & Titles of God
Join the TU Wesley for an 8-week study on the names and titles of God. God has many names—Lord, Yahweh, Abba, Father, Jehovah, and many more you may have never heard. Each name carries a significant meaning, providing a window into who God is and how God interacts with the world.
Books are provided and no homework or reading ahead of time necessary.
Our first session will be March 11th at 4PM - join us!
