“The Saving Grace of Fun”
The summer season offers a grace-filled time for vacations, relaxation, fun, leisure, recreation, and renewal — even in places where work never seems to stop. It is a saving grace.
If you are exhausted from discussing justice issues, join us to take time to recognize and lift up fun as an integral part of salvation, to see it as a human right. We will bless our current interns as they finish their WATER internships.

Working Together: Feminist and Queer Theology in Conversation with Mary E. Hunt, Ph.D.
With gratitude to FutureChurch, we share their resources here:
Mary Hunt, Ph.D., kicks off FutureChurch’s Pride Month series with a presentation on “Working Together: Feminist and Queer Theology in Conversation.”
Dr. Hunt’s presentation names the current lived reality for women and LGBTQ+ people in the Catholic Church, explores the histories and intersection of both feminist and queer theologies, and offers practical suggestions and principles for working together toward justice in the world and church. Dr. Hunt then engages in conversation with several participants.

Land Acknowledgement
WATER, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, acknowledges that it sits on the traditional and contemporary homeland of the Piscataway and Nacotchtank (sometimes known as the Anacostan) people, the original stewards of this land.
We are committed to lifting up the names of these lands and the community members from these nations who reside alongside us and who were here long before we were. We affirm WATER’s intention to promote healing, respect, and love for all people through our work, with special indebtedness to Native people whose lands we are privileged to share.
