As Christians, we know that God's love and grace extend to all. Session 2 focuses on God's call to love one another and Jesus' imperative to love our neighbor as ourselves.

Participants will:

  • Delve into how they as individuals and as a church community measure up on the "love scale."
  • Explore how lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and their families and friends might rate the congregation's practice of love.
  • Identify ways to include people who regularly fall outside the circle of love in our church and commit to specific actions that demonstrate God's love.

Here's a sneak peak at the multimedia content in this session:

"God is Always a Loving God," Rev. Dr. Eunice Musa Iliya.

Called to Love from Rethink Inclusion on Vimeo.

Note: Each component in this session is ranked to assist the leader in choosing the most appropriate activities-such as prayers, hymns, Bible passages, vignettes, and discussion starters-for your particular class or group.
