At Good Shepherd, we respect the dignity of every human being.

The Forum was created by and for LGBTQ+ people as a space to explore faith and modern life. We gather monthly to hear a guest speaker, discuss a topic, and celebrate being together; past topics have included faith and gender, faith and democracy, faith and public life, among others.

These sessions are open to all.
