May 1  :    How can a church effectively open its doors to the gay community... and what impact does that have on the straight members of the congregation? Justin Lee, executive director of The Gay Christian Network, will share the insights he's gained from over 10 years of work bridging those two worlds.

May 8:  What are we doing and what else can we do to welcome gay parents with children and straight parents with gay children, to provide a nurturing environment within our youth activities, and to advocate for them as parents?  A panel of gay and straight parents will present and offer opportunities for questions and discussion.
