Liturgies for Coming Out Day: Can't Turn Around!
In this document "Can't Turn Around!", Dr. Scott Haldeman offers a variety of resources to enrich your devotions and worship. He begins with texts and prayers that may be used by individuals or compiled for a full public rite—a Service of Confession, Testimony and Blessing that might be celebrated on National Coming Out Day. He also offers discrete elements that could be added to a service, for instance, on one of the adjacent Sundays. With scripture and hymn suggestions and reflections on the lectionary texts that can be found in “Out in Scripture,” these pieces may allow for recognition of a “sacrament” of LGBT lives in your community of faith, whether on National Coming Out day itself or as enhancement to a regular service.
