Embodied Resistance: Protective Presence in Palestine
This past week Sam Stein spoke at Parkside UCC and told his story of gaining political consciousness and becoming a dedicated advocate for Palestinian rights and freedom.

What is Xenia and Why Is It Important?
There is a really beautiful law and relationship in ancient Greece and in the Hellenic Polytheistic religion called Xenia. Often translated as "Guest-Friendship", Xenia is something that as a society, we these days so sorely need and are lacking. As we look around and see more and more of our neighbors and family members being kidnapped, hurt, and even worse, we may be overwhelmed, numb, angry, or just not know what to do. But there is somewhere we can start.
Trans History Month: Stories From Our Community
August is Transgender History Month, and here at Sac Queer Church we wanted to do something to honor that. There are many wonderful trans people throughout history that we could highlight, but the truth is their stories are already out there. If you want to learn about them, they are only a quick DuckDuckGo search away.
So instead, we choose to highlight the journeys of trans people currently within our community. New stories that might also be something for you to relate to at this point in your life.
It can be so challenging going through your transition, or your feelings of dysphoria, or even just wondering if you're trans at all. If you don't have a community around you that knows what you're going through then it can be a really isolating feeling as well. So our hope is that by reading these stories, perhaps something resonates with you. Perhaps you can feel a little less alone, and a little less isolated. And please know that you are always, always welcome here, regardless of where you stand on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. We stand with you, and we welcome you.
