** On October 2nd, 2023, at 7:00 PM EST, Room for All will present Responding to Anti-LGBTQIA+ Rhetoric, a 2 hour virtual training designed to inform and prepare LGBTQIA+ leaders and allies for action.
------------------------------------------------------------

Our time together will provide a background of the “Christian” movement against equal rights, and multiple tools for effective communication. This training, most importantly, offers a chance to practice responding.

All are welcome! While this training is provided at no cost to RfA rostered clergy and congregations, attendees are encouraged to make a suggested donation ([link removed]) of $10 to support the ongoing work toward the full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people in the life and ministry of the Reformed Church in America.

In partnership with our friends at the Open and Affirming Coalition of the United Church of Christ, Program Manager Mitch Leet is leading an Anti-Bullying webinar on September 28, 2023, at 7:00 PM EST. We’ll discuss types of bullying, becoming an upstander, and what parents, churches and communities can do to both prevent and respond to instances of bullying at all age levels.
