Dear Friends,
Join the LGBTQ+ and Allies Working Group Meeting on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Time)/ 9:30 p.m. (Singapore time).
This event is open to all REA members.
We have invited Dr. Ish Ruiz to share from his recently published book LGBTQ+ Educators in Catholic Schools: Embracing Synodality, Inclusivity, and Justice.
A native of Puerto Rico and a queer Catholic theologian, Dr. Ruiz is an assistant professor of Latinx and Queer Decolonial Theology at Pacific School of Religion and holds a PhD in Theology and Ethics from the Graduate Theological Union. He also coordinates the Latinx Roundtable of the Center for LGBTQ+ and Gender Studies in Religion housed at PSR.
Dr. Ruiz also chaired the Marianist LGBTQ+ Initiative team, served as a union activist to protect the rights of LGBTQ+ Church employees, and presented at various pastoral conferences throughout the US.
We believe we can learn much from Dr. Ruiz. The session will be 90 minutes. After the presentation, we will have an opportunity to engage in conversation.
We look forward to seeing you at this gathering! The Zoom link will be sent out closer to the date. Just so we know how many to expect, please reply to this rea [dot] lgbtqplus [dot] wg [at] gmail [dot] com by October 26, and let us know that you will be attending. Thank you.
For more information, you can also reach out to aplit [dot] tutor [at] gmail [dot] com
Peace and blessings,
Robin and Alfred
