Discussions about gender, gender identities, gender roles, biological sex, sexual orientation and gender expressions—among other concepts—are not new, nor do they appear out of nowhere. People in LBGTQ communities were not all born 20 years ago; therefore, sexual diversity is not an imposed recent issue. Sexual diversity exists and has been around forever. As a church that remains at the forefront and inserts itself into the world’s daily discussions, we must deepen the theological conversation on gender issues and continue opening spaces for dialogue in our temples.

What’s happening in Israel/Palestine is not a “both sides” situation. These are not “clashes”. Israel is an apartheid state and Palestinians live under occupation. Here are some ways you can support Palestine during this time and demand justice for the Palestinian people.

Since March 29, the start date of Derek Chauvin’s trial, 64 people - approximately 3 people each day - have died at the hands of law enforcement in the United States. One officer being held accountable does not come close to rectifying the loss of Black and Brown lives nor does it erase the fact that the United States has a serious problem with policing. We also can’t view the institution of policing in isolation when the whole system is guilty.

Last year, women, girls and allies all across Mexico took to the streets to engage in massive demonstrations to raise awareness about the violence against women and girls in the country. At our most recent BPFNA board meeting, Vice President Veró Garibay-Bravo shared an update on what's currently happening with the women's movement in 2021.
BPFNA-Bautistas por la Paz stands with the Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in lamenting the deaths of the eight people killed in Atlanta and joins with others in demanding an end to AAPI hate, violence and discrimination. We condemn the increasing xenophobic and hateful attitudes and actions directed toward AAPI communities, families and businesses – especially throughout recent years where we’ve seen targeted rhetoric around the “rising threat” of China and fear mongering around COVID-19. We also acknowledge that this racism is not something new. As a nation founded on white supremacy and patriarchy – ideologies that are deeply embedded in our systems and everyday way of life – we also cannot ignore the history of racism in the United States against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and, as six of the victims were women of Asian descent, the history of misogyny against Asian women in particular.

Throughout history, women in every part of the world have made great strides, sometimes in spite of a significant lack of equality. With the help of women such as Lucretia Mott, Rosa Parks, and Marsha P. Johnson, the gap in equality in areas such as gender, race, and sexual orientation has become more and more narrow. Currently, we are very fortunate that these women and so many more have made these strides, but we still have a long way to go - and part of it comes from the way we approach feminism even among each other as women.
