Jesus loves queers! Panel discussion about queer life at church

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live as a queer Christian? And what is it like to leave religious community as a result of value conflict? How does it feel when your own identity and religious teachings are in conflict?

These are things you rarely hear talked about in church. In this we can learn and find together. Angels of Malmi choir will be present and perform songs linked to the themes of the discussion. There will be peer support, perspectives, music and answers to questions that are too rarely thought out loud.

The programme starts at 6pm. The panel will last 90 minutes, after which there will be an opportunity to stay for coffee on site until 9pm.

Unfortunately this event will be held in Finnish.
