  • GAY AND ORDAINED: LIVING ACROSS THE GREAT RELIGIOUS DIVIDE - Thursday, April 10, 7:30 pm Todd Hall, Rm 216 at WSU Free and open to the public. Sponsored by a variety of WSU groups and local churches, including CCUCC. Come hear Rev. Bradley Schmeling, an ordained ELCA pastor speak about one of the biggest issues of our time in American Religion. Rev. Schmeling is pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Atlanta, GA. In January, 2007, he was put on trial by the ELCA for being in a same gender relationship with Rev. Darin Easler, thus initiating movement and discussion within the ELCA reflective of those that occur in other Christian denominations. Rev. Schmeling’s presentation will address the cultural struggles around issues of homosexuality and how they are a foil for other social and religious struggles.


  • “FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO” - Sunday, April 13, 1:00 p.m. Fellowship Hall. Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating gays and lesbians and Christianity too wide to cross? Is the Bible an excuse to hate? Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson -- we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. Informed by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard’s Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.


  • BIBLICAL SELF DEFENSE - The Bible and Homosexuality Tuesday evenings, 7-8:30, April 15- May 13 Have you ever wondered how to respond to folks who use the Bible as a weapon against you or people you care about? Does the Bible really provide the clear and final statement about whether homosexuality is right or wrong? In this 4 week series, Kristine and Chip will guide us through Daniel Helminiak’s concise book, “What the Bible Really Says about Homosexuality.” The purpose of this class is both to share our questions and fears, and also seek some tools to help us stand up to the sometimes frightening voices of exclusion that are so much a part of our community and world. Open to anyone. Call 332-6411 to let us know you’ll be attending, or for more information. Community Congregational United Church of Christ 525 NE Campus Ave. Pullman, WA 99163
