Monday, June 30, 7 pm at Atonement Lutheran Church Boulder

In his new book, Reading Secrets: A Queer Inheritance of Life and Scripture, Malcom Himschoot shares his spiritual journey of being the child of a fundamentalist, closeted gay father who used scripture as a weapon against himself and his children. In Reading Secrets, Malcolm offers an alternative view and invites the reader to reimagine faith as a space for healing, truth, and liberation. Malcolm’s ministry has taken him from streets and prisons in Denver, to immigrant vigils, to affordable housing in Minneapolis, to policing reform in Cleveland, to coalition-building for indigenous rights in Maine. Along the way he has served congregations, leading worship, preaching and teaching, offering pastoral care, and singing with children. Malcom talks about trans topics, Mental Health in the LGBTQIA+ community and transforming shame into liberating hope.
