Description:
The 2021 General Assembly marked a pivotal point in the approach of The Presbyterian Church in Canada to gender, sexuality and the denomination’s ministry with LGBTQI2+ people. In addition to changes to the PCC’s theology and practice regarding marriage and ordination, General Assembly adopted a set of recommendations to guide the whole church to acknowledge the harm caused due to homophobia, transphobia, heterosexism and hypocrisy, to respond appropriately to that harm and to ensure that harm does not continue.

The recording of this webinar is available for Presbyterians to review and learn more about the decisions the denomination has made regarding LGBTQI2+ inclusion. The recording includes a short presentation followed by a time for participants to ask questions about how these decisions are applied in congregations, presbyteries, camps, colleges, national committees and other contexts within The Presbyterian Church in Canada.
