14th Annual Georgia Harkness Lecture – Rev. Dr. Rebecca Voelkel
Rev. Dr. Voelkel has spent the last seven years working at the intersection of queer movements and BIPOC-led reparations efforts. In 2022, she interviewed dozens of Indigenous, Black, and White leaders (many of them queer) about their theological and movement-building work around congregationally-based reparations. Using the knowledge she heard and received, she co-authored Sacred Reckonings: White Settler-Colonizer Churches Doing the Work of Reparations (Center for Sustainable Justice: 2023).

This CLGS Latinx Roundtable Event will explore grassroot activism at the intersection of queerness, Latinidad, and spirituality. Meléndez Rivera will discuss her experience working at this intersection and some important practices faith leaders can employ to promote justice. From a theological standpoint, this kind of activism yields important insights about God and the meaning of justice that can aid the Church better reflect this divine promise. Faith leaders who work with (or hope to work with) Latinx populations would benefit from the spiritual and practical insights from this presentation.

Mi Casa Es Tu Casa: Queer Latinx Reflections on the Family with MT Dávila and Natalia Imperatori-Lee | A CLGS Latinx Roundtable Event
This CLGS Latinx Roundtable Event will explore the concept of familia through a queer Latinx lens. Our panelists will reflect on the many ways “familia” is constructed and deployed in Latinx cultures and will apply a queer reading of familial relationality (including biological families and “chosen” families) to better understand, celebrate, and expand the scope of family in our contemporary diverse society. Such a project has significant implication for how we welcome all persons, especially queer POC, into relationship.
