SUMMARY:Glitter Ash Wednesday
DESCRIPTION:Glitter+Ash Wednesday claims and transforms a historically Lenten ritual as God’s holy affirmation of Queer existence. \nBy wearing Glitter+Ash today\, you are part of a public Christian witness taking place throughout the US\, the UK\, and Canada. Ashes are an in-your-face statement that death and suffering are real. Ashes are a sign that we repent of our role in the violence that pervades our world\, especially violence against queer and trans people and LGBTQ asylum seekers. \nThe glitter is a sign of our hope and fierce relentless love. Glitter+Ash is a powerful reminder of St. Augustine’s teaching that we cannot despair\, because despair paralyzes. \nGlitter signals our promise to repent\, to show up\, to witness\, to work. Glitter never gives up – and neither do we. \nGlitter+Ash is a joint venture of Middle Church\, St. Lydia’s Dinner Church\, Parity and the Stone Catcher Project.
