A Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry Lavender Lunch
A CLGS Lavender Lunch:
Open and Affirming Roman Catholic Institutions
With Fr. Donal Godfrey, D.Min, S.J.
Thursday, November 29th, 2007
12:30-2pm
Pacific School of Religion
Mudd 100
Free of charge.
Bring your lunch; CLGS will provide dessert and drinks.
This is a CE credit-approved event.
Fr. Donal will present case studies of Most Holy Redeemer parish in The Castro and the University of San Francisco. These two very differing institutions are Catholic examples of best practice with regard to the LGBTQ community. Their transformation happened through compromise and conflict at times, despite opposition from many sources, including the institutionalized homophobia of the church and society. Fr. Donal will share how these hope-filled stories have a wider significance for the Catholic church.
Join the Center for Lesbian & Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry on November 29 to hear about the intersection of LGBTQ communities and Catholic ministry.
The CLGS Mission Statement:
To advance the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and to transform faith communities and the wider society by taking a leading role in shaping a new public discourse on religion and sexuality through education, research, community building and advocacy.
