Week 1
Un-Trivializing God:
Reality as Thou
10:30 am in the Celebration Center
We can re-imagine our relationship to the divine and to our environment by seeing God as primary reality, not a separate being, not magical but imbued in all of Nature.

Thank you for your interest
in the Dare to Care Tucson Coalition!
Organized by a group of United Methodists, Dare to Care hosted three events in August to support the LGBTQIA+ community.
On September 14th, we hosted our first group conversation to further discuss ways this Coalition might best support LGBTQIA+ youth, families, and professionals working with them.
Our conversation focused on three areas of action:
-
Supporting local LGBTQIA+ activists and organizations,
-
Education within our community and
-
Political activism and advocacy.
Our conversations were meaningful and they reiterated what we learned from our informative panel speakers on August 13: the obstacles and challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ youth and their advocates are complex and multifaceted.
Therefore, the mission of this Coalition is to unite our community toward supporting the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being of gay and trans youth.
What’s Next?
Our efforts will focus on sharing information about the work being done at the local and federal levels. There are a variety of ways you can get involved:
-
share efforts where financial support is needed.
-
communicate opportunities and events where you can get involved.
-
mobilize participation with legislation alliances and advocacy in Phoenix.
We will always honor the commitment and work that so many of you have already put forth and our intention is only to build bridges and create stronger alliances within the greater community.
If you would like to join us and be part of this powerful momentum, please register for our Coalition.
Watch for more action steps to come in 2023!
