Find Belonging and Belovedess in Life’s “Endings":
THIS LIVING THE KIN-DOM STUDY BY RIVA TABELISMA gives fresh eyes to the Lord's Prayer. Often learned by rote, the Lord's Prayer is a rich guide for how we can live out God's kin-dom in our lives. Tabelisma invites participants in this study to step away from our automatic recitation of the prayer and dive deep into the meaning of each line over the course of eight one-hour sessions. Each of the sessions examines a section of the Lord's Prayer from Matthew 6:9–13 as it is recorded in the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
The intersection between queerness and spirituality can often be fraught. These inclusive, accepting, and empowering stories offer a fresh perspective on spirituality that can help us unlock a deeper connection with the divine.
