Diversity, Privilege, and Faith: Studying Connections

A three-session adult study on heterosexism presented at Warren United Methodist Church in 1995.

Last March my church discovered a new word!

One General Conference petition presented to our administrative board called for regional and national meetings on “Heterosexism and the Mission of the Church.” This petition generated significant discussion because the word heterosexism was new to most people present. Our church affirmed this petition—with the condition that we study heterosexism by the time Annual Conference met in early June. In May, I offered the three one-hour sessions outlined in this document (PDF) from Open Hands, Fall, 1995 issue.
