LGBT Week 2009
November 10-12, 2009
The tenth annual LGBT Week shortened due to the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Religion. But the abbreviated celebration included a sermon from from LTS senior Rachael Miller and the annual lecture by Dr. Kathryn Tanner of the University of Chicago Divnity School. It also marks the first appearance of the seminary's own pride flag, seen flying for the week...
The ninth annual GLBT Week brought another great set of speakers to LTS, including Reverend Karla Fleshman of Imago Dei Metropolitan Community Church (Glenn Mills, PA) and Revered Doctor Mona West.
Student preacher Bryce Rich, special guest preacher Rev. Miguel A. Del La Torre of the Iliff School of Theology and special guest lecturer Dr. Mark D. Jordan of Emory University (Atlanta). Take a look at the week's bulletin, read devotionals and reflections from LTS community members, and check out Bryce's sermon and Dr. Jordan's lecture.
Student preacher Karen "Mil" Miller, returning LTS alumna Rev. Kharma Amos and special guest Dr. Mary E. Hunt of WATER. Take a look at the week's bulletin, read reflections from four LTS community members, and check out sermons from Mil and Kharma and Dr. Hunt's lecture.
Student preacher Peter Frye, LTS Faculty member David M. Mellott and special guests Dr. Virginia Ramey Mollenkott and Dr. Ken Stone of Chicago Theological Seminary.
This year's theme focused on the fluidity of sexuality. Rather than being exclusively male or female, we possess emotional, physical, mental and spiritual components of both sexes in a continuum of God's good creation. We recognize that there are many inlets, many tributaries, many streams that combine to become the great river that we call humanity. This year celebrated the flow of living water that carries us all.
Student preachers Aimee Brackbill and Jennifer Glass, LTS staff member Susan Minasian and special guest Christine Smith, Ph.D., Union Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities.
Special guest Dr. Mary Ann Tolbert, Professor of Biblical Studies at Pacific School of Religion and Executive Director of Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry.
