Open and Affirming Support Team Training

Help others navigate the ONA journey!

The Wisconsin Conference ONA team will host a one-day training event for individuals and groups from our churches interested in helping other congregations pursuing Open and Affirming status. The training is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 19 at First Congregational UCC in Watertown.

Participants will learn about ONA resources, techniques for helping churches that are in process, and potential challenges. The day will include a chance to watch “1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture,” a documentary that tells the story of researchers who traced the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a mistranslation of the Bible in 1946.

Cost for the event is $25 for individuals or $20 per person for congregations that send four or more people. The fee for the movie only is $10. Register now.
