Registration Open for Embrace Webinar with Greg Coles

Registration is now open for the next Embrace webinar, which will be a conversation with Greg Coles, author of Single Gay Christian: A Personal Journey of Faith and Sexual Identity. The webinar will be held from 12 to 1 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, April 25.

Coles will talk about his experiences in the church as a same-sex attracted disciple of Jesus. He will also share thoughts on how the church can love and embrace all LGBT people more effectively.

A preview is posted on the Embrace home page. Embrace is a suite of human sexuality discipleship resources and experiences in harmony with the ECC’s adopted position, the center of which is “Faithfulness in heterosexual marriage, celibacy in singleness.”

All are welcome, although it will be assumed that webinar participants have read Coles’s book. You can e-mail questions in advance to be considered at embrace@covchurch.org.

A previous webinar with Preston Sprinkle also is posted on the Embrace site.
