CHICAGO, IL (May 10, 2018) – The next Embrace webinar, “Just Sexuality: Exploring the Intersections of Justice and Human Sexuality,” will address questions such as whether it  is possible to both be just and uphold a traditional sexual ethic, as well as in what ways has the evangelical church failed to love LGBTQ+ people well?

The webinar will be a conversation with Dennis Edwards, lead pastor of Sanctuary Covenant Church, a justice-minded ECC congregation in the Minneapolis area.

The webinar will be held on Thursday, May 17, from 12 to 1 p.m. (CDT), at the Embrace website. Click here to register.

Questions to be considered can be emailed to embrace@covchurch.org.

The conversation will be facilitated by Michelle Sanchez, executive minister of Make and Deepen Disciples for the ECC.

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.”
