Soulforce seeks LGBT families for Potter’s House outreach
Soulforce is looking for local LGBT families to help initiate a dialogue with Bishop T.D. Jakes and members of the Potter’s House in Dallas.
The national LGBT civil rights group’s American Family Outing will visit six megachurches across the country between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day this spring.
The goal of the event is to change the hearts and minds of congregations led by those who’ve taken the reins of the evangelical movement from noted anti-gay preachers Jerry Falwell, D. James Kennedy, Pat Robertson and James Dobson. Bishop Jakes, who leads the 30,000-member Potter’s House, has called homosexuality a “brokenness” and said he would not hire an openly gay person.
An American Family Outing will visit the Potter’s House in Dallas from May 16 to 18. Soulforce plans to bring in several noted African-American leaders from the Civil Rights movement for the event, including the Rev. Jim Lawson, the Rev. Phil Lawson and the Rev. Gil Caldwell.
An information and outreach session will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 12 at Living Faith Covenant Church at the Promise Worship and Community Center, 2527 W. Colorado Blvd. in Dallas. Participants should RSVP to the Rev. Deneen Robinson at 214-681-7046 or deneen.robinson@sbcglobal.net. For more information, go to www.soulforce.org.
