Hosted by Jeffrey Dale, Simcoe Pride’s 2020 Person of the Year, this will be an opportunity to sit down with young queer faith leaders, both in the United Church and outside of it, and explore the stories of how our sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationships with the divine all interconnect with another.
