Words Matter

All Church

"Words Matter" is a discussion group that has been meeting since August 2024 to learn how we can be better allies to the LGBTQ community as we recognize that our words really do matter. We would like to invite more members of Asbury to join our conversation as we welcome guest speaker C.J. Janovy to discuss her book "No Place Like Home: Lessons in Activism from LGBT Kansas" on Thursday, Jan. 23 at 7:00 pm in the Parlor. C.J. Janovy is Director of Journalism at KCUR 89.3, Kansas City's NPR Station.

"A compelling, complex narrative of the interlocking lives and efforts of a small group of activists working for the seemingly impossible goal of a queer-friendly Kansas." - Kansas History

"This exquisitely written book captures the experiences and emotions of everyday activists [and] reveals how losses regarding pro-LGBT policies and protections 'in the long game, often built to victories.' A riveting, insightful love letter to Kansas's unsung LGBT heroes." - Choice
