Dear Friends,
   I had an incredible weekend promoting my book, Who Do You Say I Am ? Personal Life Stories Told by the LGBTQ Community.
  Saturday, I participated in the Baltimore Book Festival.  The day was filled with people expressing their gratitude for my book and their hope for healing in their communities. Parents shared stories about their children, as did many from the LGBTQ community. I spoke to pastors and other church leadership who are trying to reconcile this in their churches. It was beautiful.Â
   Then on Sunday, I had a book event at Ascension Lutheran in Towson, MD. There was a wonderfully encouraging group in attendance. I read one of the stories from my book, then people had an opportunity to ask questions, prompting a very interesting discussion. Many thanks to all of those people who helped to make this possible.  Â
   When I wrote this book, it was my hope that through these stories, God would bring a deeper understanding of the LGBTQ community and create an openness in the church. It is such a joy to see this begin to happen.
I look forward to sharing my story and the stories of the LGBTQ Community in my book in other venues. If you know of any opportunities where I can do that, please contact me. I am eager to share my heart about this very important message of love.Â
With gratitude,
Carol
