Church of Hope is part of a movement within the Lutheran Church (ELCA) called “Reconciling in Christ,” (RIC) which celebrates the full inclusion of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The last Sunday is January each year is set aside to honor this commitment. The theme of this year's RIC Sunday resources is "Dreams & Visions of the Church Reimagined: naming, celebrating, and advocating for transgender and genderqueer people.” You can view sermons from queer and trans clergy on the Reconciling Works website, and join us for lively discussion on queerness and the image of God.
