The Church and Transatlantic LGBTQ+ Community

This Pride Sunday, the Rev. Steven Paulikas will lead us in a discussion of the historic and current bonds between LGBTQ+ communities on both sides of the Atlantic and the Church's role in fostering those ties. Like the Church, the LGBTQ+ community transcends national boundaries, and both can be resources to one another in this time of isolationism and nationalism. Fr. Paulikas' opinion pieces, "The Church of England can learn from Episcopalians on same-sex marriage" and "Same-Sex Marriage is a Religious Freedom" have appeared in the Financial Times and The New York Times, respectively. He was a 2023-24 fellow in the American-German Institute's inaugural program on LGBTQ+ community building in Germany and the United States and is a member of GIN-SSOGIE, a global network of LGBTQ+ faith leaders centered in the global south.
