St. James Celebrates Pride

July 02, 2025

As a conclusion to Pride Month, the St. James LGBTQ+ Affinity Group (yes, we all agree we need a new name!) led us in witnessing to God's inclusive love both inside and outside our doors. A group departed from the labyrinth early Sunday morning (complete with a special blessing from our guest preacher, the Rev. Michael Sullivan) to participate in the Pride Parade with the Chicago Coalition of Welcome Churches. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, another group staffed a hospitality table in the Cathedral narthex offering water, a place to cool off, and pride flags to remind everyone of the God's welcome of all. Special thanks to Russell and Jillyn from the LGBTQ+ Affinity Group for leading and organizing these activities.
