A discussion sponsored by the Reconciling Church Committee
LGBTQ+ and the church: A Book Discussion
Our discussion of this text has ended.
Those interested in the Bible's "Clobber Passages," most often used to justify the exclusion of LGBTQ+ community from church life, is encouraged to read this biographical text by Colby Martin.
Unclobbered follows Martin's exploration of the Biblical intent behind these passages.

Thank you to those of us who cleaned our closets to contribute canned goods, blankets, coats and other items for those in need. Countless volunteers from many organizations helped the homeless and needy in the Baltimore area.

Weekly Services Held Via ZOOM Due to COVID-19 Pandemic
Once each month, we invite anyone to join us for Casual Conversation about Serious Subjects. In the past, we have met at a restaurant in the Mt. Vernon area of Baltimore to discuss burning questions of the day. Each question is proposed by that month's facilitator (we never disclose the topic in advance). Currently, we meet via ZOOM.
Join us for a rousing conversation. Our rules:
1. this is a safe environment to share, therefore all ideas are appreciated, even if not agreed-upon.
2. be respectful of others' opinions.
3. have fun!
Typically, we meet the last Wednesday of each month at 7 PM. Please keep checking our calendar for dates and locations.
