A queer church dispelling isolation, reconnecting neighbors, and subverting the status quo
St. Lydia’s is a church that gathers to share a sacred meal, as the first followers of Jesus did. Simple unaccompanied music is sung, scripture explored, and prayers offered, all in the context of a home-cooked meal. We regard practice before belief, trusting that eating, praying and singing together moves congregants deeper into faith. Instead of trying to figure out what a shared orthodoxy (right beliefs) might be, Lydians are trying to find what a shared orthopraxy (right living) looks like. This offers a place of healing and growth, particularly for people seeking a faith or spiritual life but who have been harmed by the Church.
