The Collective of Queer Christian Leaders Ash Wednesday Statement
We are leaders of faith-based organizations in the intersectional work of LGBTQIA2S+ justice. This is a statement from our organizations to the LGBTQIA2S+ people who are connected to our ministries. We can’t mince words about what’s happening here: we are under attack. But you are not alone, and you are not forgotten—not by our God, and not by us. You can read the full statement by clicking the link below.

What Are You Waiting For?: An LGBTQIA+ Affirming Advent Devotional
On behalf of the Collective, we’re so glad for this opportunity to accompany you and yours through the Advent season. Within these pages, we hope to subvert the traditions that bind us blindly to the prejudice of the past, while offering grounding for the present and hope for the future.
You’ll be greeted each day with a devotional by a member of our Collective, or a song, prayer or poem for reflection or meditation on the messages of the season. There’s a page for your own wonderings, and opportunities to color, doodle or take notes.
Released in December 2023.
