Beloved and Beautiful: God's Widening Welcome in the Life of the Church
by Charlie Baber, Chris Jorgensen, and John Sievering
Co-written and produced with Charlie Baber, award-winning artist and author of The Wesley Bros, this video and discussion series invites us to explore what it means to fully welcome and affirm LGBTQ+ people in the life and leadership of the church.
Together, we’ll journey through the biblical witness that supports a theology of inclusion, examine the history of LGBTQ+ inclusion within the United Methodist Church, and reflect on how we, as a church community, can live more fully into God’s expansive and transforming love. Rooted in Scripture and grounded in grace, this study creates space for honest questions, deep reflection, and the celebration of the beautiful diversity of God’s people.
