Information:
This five-week webinar examines Bowen Family Theory within spiritual communities and offers ways to use Bowen’s eight concepts as a pathway to lessen anxiety and provide balance in times of difficulty. Participants will examine their level of self-differentiation, non-anxiousness and ability to be present with others in the here and now. Group work will focus on ways ministerial leaders, church staffs and lay leaders can stay “together” as one emotional body, as well as practice the art of “reframing” situations in order to accept “differences.”

Description: Wondering about how to support the gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, pansexual, transgender, nonbinary, agender, and gender-fluid people in your community? Not even sure what all those words mean? Don’t worry—we’re going to learn together. This 90 minute experiential workshop combines gender and sexuality identity basics, with scriptural analysis of the "clobber passages" so often used against the LGBTQ+ community, all to support a more heart centered awareness of how many LGBTQ+ engage with God, scripture and spirituality. We will look at concrete action steps to ensure your community is welcoming and affirming of LGBTQ+ individuals.
