Queer Theology: Developing Faithful Lenses for Inclusive and Justice-Minded Practice
Overview
In a time when questions about identity, belonging, and justice are shaping both church and society, how might developing intentional theological lenses transform the way we read scripture, engage tradition, and practice faith?
Part of RMN Courses, Queer Theology is a six-session online course that introduces participants to key concepts and methods in queer theology. Together, we will explore how queer theological frameworks invite deeper engagement with scripture, tradition, and lived experience—cultivating more inclusive, justice-minded faith practices.
Designed for laity, this course offers practical tools and theological grounding for reading scripture with intentionality, strengthening congregational life, and engaging communities with greater depth and integrity.
