Gender Dysphoria Topic of Embrace Webinar

CHICAGO, IL (October 10, 2018) – Ministering to people with gender dysphoria will be the topic of the Embrace webinar with pastor Steve Froehlich on Thursday at noon (CDT).

Froehlich has ministered extensively to people with gender dysphoria.

The webinar will offer an understanding of what gender dysphoria (gender identity conflict) is and what might be a Christian framework for providing pastoral care.

Froehlich has written a widely read paper on pastoral care and gender dysphoria. In 2017, he spoke at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary at a pastors’ forum on the topic.

Froehlich is senior pastor of New Life Presbyterian Church in Ithaca, New York. Previously he served as board chair of the Chesterton House Center for Christian Studies at Cornell University and as executive vice president of Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi.

Register here for the webinar and to email questions in advance for consideration during the webinar at embrace@covchurch.org.

Viewers are encouraged to read Froehlich’s white paper in advance of the webinar. It is posted online.
