Steadfast Love: Holy Relationships and a Wilderness God

This is what my friend and colleague Rich McCarty and I have been birthing in recent weeks. Saturday's retreat will be a gathering of 20+ fellow travelers seeking "holy relationships." Join me in praying for this rich day...

STEADFAST LOVE …
Holy Relationships and a Wilderness God

Saturday, March 21
10:00am – 4:00pm
3338 N. Broadway Street
Chicago, Illinois

Are you on the journey of embracing spirituality and sexuality? Do you walk beside those engaged in such holy work? This Lenten retreat will provide an LGBT-inclusive space for rest, reflection and renewal in the work of the Holy. Inspired by the witness of Psalm 107, we will celebrate God’s steadfast love in the wilderness. We will also challenge ideas about God and God’s expectations which damage our experience and trust in Divine faithfulness. Attendees of all sexual orientations and gender identities will explore these six dimensions of living in Holy Relationships: trust, mutuality, accountability, unconditional love, boundaries, and intimacy. Together, we’ll give thanks for the pattern of God’s work in our lives, and be empowered for new discipleship commitments. Retreat Facilitators: Rev. Dr. Rich McCarty and Rev. Jacki Belile, members of the Holy Relationships National Steering Committee.
