Annual Capital Pride Interfaith Service June 10
"History, Vision, Legacy" is the theme for this year's Annual Capital Pride Week Interfaith Service. It will be held on Tuesday, June 10th at 7:30 PM in the sanctuary of the Foundry United Methodist Church at 1500 16th Street NW, Washington D.C. 20036 (at P St. NW) That's just across the street from the DC Jewish Community Center.
The featured speaker will be Reverend Archene Turner. Music will be provided by the Jubilee Singers, a choral group from All Souls Unitarian Church.
The Celebration of The Spirit Coalition and its predecessor organization WAGLIA have been convening this service for more than 20 years. Bet Mishpachah, Dignity, al-Fatiha, and the DC Radical Faeries are among the founding member organizations. A few years ago it was recognized as an "official" event of the Capital Pride Celebration. This brought an awareness to the wider GLBTQ community that the faith traditions are an integral part of our community. In addition, it demonstrated to the rest of the world that those so called "religious-right" organizations that oppose us do not have monopoly on faith and traditions. The proceeds of the collection at this year's service will be used to continue and extend the awareness of these two points.
