St Michael’s Uniting Church celebrates the long history of queer inspiration through spirituality and faith with their annual Midsumma Sunday Gathering. This year St Michael’s will be inspired by the long history of queer Christian artists and mystics like St Hildegard of Bingen, who opened up new, vibrant and creative ways to connect with the sacred.
The joyful service will be led by St Michael’s LGBTIQA+ minister, Rev Dr Margaret Mayman (she/her), and supported by the congregation of St Michael’s and special musical guests 'The Consort of Melbourne’.
All are welcome to share in the joy of being inspired by the sacred.
"Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, wherever you have come from, wherever you are going to, whatever you believe, whatever you do not believe, you are welcome here".
St Michael’s prides itself on being a welcoming and affirming church for LGBTIQA+ people of faith. St Michael’s is recognised as an Open and Affirming congregation for LGBTQIA+ people by the Uniting Network Australia, the national network for LGBTQIA+ people, families, friends and supporters within the Uniting Church in Australia.
