Books Groups
LGBTQ Summer Study, September, 4:00 p.m.
Our group will gather on a date to be determined (in September) at 4:00 p.m. in the Ardmore Room to discuss this beautifully written collection of twelve essays, poems, and stories that follows and fractures the expectations surrounding LGBTQIA+ Appalachians and their religious beliefs. Gathered by Davis Shoulders, the pieces delve into themes of chosen family, loss, congregation, and alternative expressions of faith. Set against the backdrop of Christian cultural mores and a region considered to be deeply pious, these writings offer diverse perspectives on religion, queerness, and growth. Queer Communion explores everything from the joy and excitement of worship to the complexities of navigating one’s queerness and spiritual convictions in oppressive environments. Copies are available through Bookmarks. You will receive 20% off when you tell them at the time of your order you are with the Bookmarks’ Book Club program. Contact Debbie Layman with questions or to sign up.
