Can I Ask That? Q&A
On May 25, 2023 we wrapped up our 3-part series on LGBTQ+ realities and how the church can engage. This is a recording of the Q&A, of which all of the questions were generated from the congregation of FPC. The sharing was vulnerable, so please use discretion when thinking about sharing this with those outside our church family.

2018-2021, First Presbyterian Church Spokane, Whitworth University’s Office of Church Engagement, and a team of faith leaders from around Spokane collaborated on this event series. Throughout the years, we organized gatherings for local Christ followers to wrestle with difficult issues of social justice, learning from guest speakers, listening to one another, and seeking the wisdom of God through the scriptures.
