Preparing For Conversion Therapy Bans - Regina, SK

  Friday, May 12th @ 07:30 pm - Saturday, May 13th @ 12:00 pm
 Living Hope Alliance Church: 3800 Green Falls Drive, Regina SK

The government of Canada has now passed a conversion therapy ban that may have far-reaching implications for church leaders, teachers, and parents. In order to prepare the Church to faithfully navigate these conversion therapy bans, ARPA Canada. with the help of Free to Care, is hosting some informational and training sessions on this topic.

 

Part 1: Information Evenings

The information session on Friday evening is designed for any Christians, their friends, and their neighbours who are interested in understanding the issue of conversion therapy and how poorly drafted legal bans have negative effects not only on the Christian and broader community but also on our LGBTQ neighbours. Doors open at 7:00 PM and the presentation begin at 7:30 sharp. Everyone is welcome!

Part 2: Practical Workshops & Breakout Sessions

The practical training session on Saturday is tailored to (but not exclusively for) church office bearers, pastors, ministry leaders, and teachers and builds off of the Friday evening information eveningPlease note, if you hope to join us for the Saturday session, we highly recommend that you attend the Friday session as well. This session, among other things, seeks to:

  • Assist church and school leaders to respond well questions about sexual ethics and/or identity
  • Help church and school leaders speak about issues of sexual ethics and personal identity in ways that are biblically sound and that are aware of political and legal sensitivities
  • Provide advice for pastors regarding the manner in which they can address sensitive issues in their sermons
  • Help churches and schools formulate / develop / adapt organizational policies

This session begins at 8:00 AM sharp, and we hope to wrap up by noon.
