Event description: 

This February 23-26, the United Methodist Church will gather its international legislative body in St. Louis for a special session that could decide the future of the denomination. This session has been called specifically to address the church’s moral impasse regarding its current discrimination against LGBTQ people. Join us as Yale Divinity School invites international UMC leaders to discuss the upcoming gathering.

Jorge Lockward, known internationally as one of the UMC’s most accomplished worship arts leaders, will share with us over dinner some of the grace, pain, and joy of engaging deeply in the international politics of a discriminatory church as an openly gay Latinx person.
