SUMMARY:Evensong with Commissioning of LGBTQI+ Volunteer Chaplains
DESCRIPTION:  \nBishop Helen-Ann will commission two new LGBTQI+ volunteer chaplains\, Izzy McDonald-Booth and David Casati\, at a special Evensong on Sunday 21 September. Izzy and David will work in the Diocese of Newcastle’s LGBTQI+ Chaplaincy alongside Lead Chaplain\, Revd Emma Duff. \nCommenting on the appointment\, David said\, “It is important for me to be visible as a queer person in the Church and to encourage the gifts and ministries of LGBTQI+ people in our Diocese. I envisage a flexible ministry\, made of discernment\, listening\, presence\, teamwork and vision.” \nIzzy commented: “The chaplaincy is here to make sure the Church lives out its promise to be a place for all people through advocacy and pastoral support wherever it’s needed. We\, as the LGBTQI+ community\, especially right now\, need affirmation and recognition of everyone’s dignity under God\, and this is my prayer.” \nYou are warmly invited to come and celebrate with us as David and Izzy are commissioned. \nClick here to learn more about the LGBTQI+ Chaplaincy and support service within the Diocese of Newcastle — part of our shared commitment to creating a radically inclusive and welcoming Christian community. \nThis service will also be live-streamed via our YouTube channel (see below).  \nhttps://www.youtube.com/live/v1dOceWPT9A \nClick here to read and follow along with the Order of Service (PDF). \nA Radical Welcome: Beginning My Journey as LGBTQI+ Chaplain
