Rev. Diane McGehee, first row center, and members of Bering Memorial United Church of Christ pose for a photograph for Pride celebrations Monday, June 13, 2022, in Houston. The congregation will be at Pride Houston for the parade and spreading love, McGehee said.Pride is in the air — and on the calendar this month — at Bering Memorial United Church of Christ in Montrose.
Bering is not alone. A number of area congregations are joining in Pride festivities this month — and support the LGBTQ community year-round. Amber Harbolt, ministry coordinator at Celebration, has attended Pride with the church in the past but said this is her first time to go as a seminarian. When churches join in pride festivities, Harbolt said they are “engaging in activities that shift structure and institutions and public perception about who belongs in church and what a pastor looks like.”
That includes advocacy and serving as a resource for other congregations interested in being open and affirming, Dockery said.The work is active, he added. “We can preach inclusivity in language,” he said. “We’re not called just to advocate but to be prescient with all of God’s people, not just those who believe and act the same way we do.”
