SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Summit/Retreat
DESCRIPTION:In a world that often expects our silence or our sorrow\, LGBTQ+ Episcopalians and their allies are invited to gather for our second annual diocesan LGBTQ+ retreat\, a weekend of Defiant Queer Joy. \nExploring our theme\, Unbounded and Radiant: Defiant Joy for the Queer Follower of Christ\, we will examine and reclaim a truth as old as the empty tomb: that our very existence is a living testimony to the Paschal Mystery. This retreat offers a celebration of the unique ways the LGBTQ+ community mirrors the movement from the shadows of the cross to the brilliance of new life. \nThe Rev. Julia Joyce-Miesse\, rector serving St. Luke’s\, Granville\, will serve as our chaplain for the weekend with music led by Anny Stevens-Gleason\, minister for congregational development at Church of the Redeemer\, Hyde Park and member of the diocesan liturgical commission. Our time together will culminate in a celebratory Eucharist\, Bishop Kristin White celebrating. \nTogether\, we’ll create a sacred space for fellowship and teaching\, rest and play\, and further form connection with one another as fertile ground from which a revolutionary hope springs forth. Join us as we embody the truth that our joy is not just a feeling—it is a sacred\, defiant act of faith that invites the whole world into a deeper understanding of God’s transformative love. \nMarch 27-28\, 2026 \nFriday\n4 pm Check-in opens\n6 pm Dinner \nSaturday\n3:30 pm Closing Eucharist with Bishop White\n5 pm Departure \nCost \n$50/person for commuters\n$75/person for a double (shared) room\n$125/person for a single room \nScholarship assistance is available. \nWe hope to include everyone that wants to join us for the LGBTQ+ retreat. If you are able\, we encourage room sharing to maximize our capacity for folks to attend. Registration deadline is March 21\, or until capacity is reached. \nREGISTER HERE \nQuestions about this event?\nContact Canon Julie Murray\, canon for community engagement\, at jmurray@diosohio.org

SUMMARY:Columbus-area LGBTQ+ Affinity Group gathering: Poetry Evening

Please feel free to bring a snack or beverage (non-alcoholic) to share. \nLocation: meeting room of the Columbus Metropolitan Library—Franklinton Branch (1061 W Town St\, Columbus OH 43222) \nAbout the Author: Pádraig Ó Tuama is an Irish poet\, theologian\, and conflict mediator who presents the podcast Poetry Unbound. \nAbout the Text: With an observant eye\, Pádraig Ó Tuama shares an enlightening meditation on each poem\, revealing the ways we relate to each other\, the world around us\, and ourselves. Blending humor with insight\, tension with tenderness\, complexity with care\, 44 Poems on Being with Each Other articulates the power of poetry itself. Through careful and incisive readings\, it illuminates aspects of the human condition\, particularly the ways we are inextricably linked to each other\, and provides inspiration for grounded self-reflection.
