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).

¡Sí Se Puede! : Queer Spirituality and Latinx Social Activism with Lisbeth Meléndez Rivera | A CLGS Latinx Roundtable Event

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.
