November is Transgender awareness month and St. Bartholomew Church (Mayfield Village) is hosting an affirming Saturday Session on biblical figures and themes that reflect the unique experiences of transgender, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming communities. This free workshop will be presented on November 5th at 10:00 am by Russ Tripi, a professor of Queer Theology at John Carroll University.  All are welcome. 

Space is limited.  Please register early.

Coffee provided!

This event is part of a free workshop series entitled "Saturday Sessions."  On Saturday mornings, join Russ with his energetic, fast-paced, theatrical, and (sometimes) comedic style as he engages the audience in some aspects of religious studies.
