A Lecture Co-hosted by CGS and the Institute for the Study of Christianity and Culture
Rev. Yuri Horie will visit ICU on February 2 for a lecture co-hosted by CGS and the Institute for the Study of Christianity and Culture (ICC). As a lesbian pastor and the representative of The Ecumenical Community for Queer Activism, she has been actively engaged in issues of homosexuality, especially lesbianism, both within and outside the church.
