Sunday, October 1, 10:30 a.m. “Out and About in a Tumultuous Time” – Alex Compton,
student minister (from Athens)
Multi-Platform – In person Athens, In person Cortland and on Zoom
For some LGBTQ folks, “coming out” is a rite of passage. But coming or being out (or “disclosing” for some) is not the same for everyone. It may not even be the same for the same person over a period of time. What might the question of “being out” mean in this historical moment?
