Sending Forth Service
April 18, 2012
Sacred Worth is an organized group of LGBTQ and allied seminarians at Candler School of Theology, who seek to support the diverse expressions of human love and sexuality among all of God’s children and is committed to acts of justice, education, conversation, and celebration with Candler, Emory University, and the larger community. Each year we have a Sending Forth service where we recognize and bless those in our community who are heading into the church and the academy. We also recognize the loss of leadership that the church has brought upon itself in excluding LGBTQ people. This stole was placed on the altar next to an unlit candle, symbolizing the loss of light, life, and love that has been and continues to be excluded from the Body of Christ.
