Supporting LGBTQ Latter-day Saints

Dear Northwest Arkansas Friends,

We invite you to this free event to better support LGBTQ Latter-day Saints and their families. Richard Ostler is the speaker, and his presentation is based on President M. Russell Ballard's invitation, "We need to understand what our LGBTQ brothers and sisters are feeling and experiencing. Certainly, we must do better than we have done in the past so that all members feel they have a spiritual home."

Richard Ostler is a married father of six children, former YSA Bishop, and active church member. Brother Ostler is supportive of the Church and its leaders and is not asking for doctrine or policy changes. He talks about ideas to implement President Ballard’s vision for LGBTQ Latter-day Saints in our congregations and families.

This is not an official event of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or the Bentonville or Rogers Stakes.

He is the author of three books at Deseret Book including "Listen, Learn, and Love: Embracing LGBTQ Latter-day Saints." Richard Ostler bio at: www.papaostler.com

The event is on Friday, November 15th from 7:00-8:30pm (1 hour presentation and 30 minutes for socializing).
