SpiritPride is an LGBTQ2A+ affirming event that gathers communities who want to celebrate,
share and find a place to explore spirituality and LGBTQ2A+ Identity. This annual conference, now in it’s 6th year, is an important place of healing for many who have been told they can’t reconcile their faith or spirituality and affirm their gender and sexual identity too.

The event is a combination of speakers, panels, breakout groups, workshops, and live music, and runs July 22-24. This year’s theme is “The Stories We Tell” and focuses on the power of storytelling. What do we choose to share, how do we speak about ourselves to the various communities in our life, what stories do we tell, and why?

I Am Somebody is the inspiring story about six street-connected children who are chosen to represent their country at the Street Child World Cup in Qatar. Some of them are from the streets of Brazil and Bangladesh, some come from poor families in Pakistan and another is from a refugee camp in Palestine. But there is one thing that all these children have in common: their lives will change forever when they participate in the Street Child World Cup.

21st century life is awash with music as never before in human history, yet how easily the ear and soul have been drowned out by the saturation of sound in the modern era. Join us we cultivate a practice of intentional listening, spiritual interpretation, and articulation of physical sensation that is found in music.

Our Place
In the World

St. Andrew’s-Wesley respectfully acknowledges that we gather on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. For thousands of years, First Nations people have walked on this land and their relationship with the land is at the centre of their lives and spirituality. As a church, and settlers on these shores, we have a life-long responsibility to unlearn our misunderstandings of history, territory, and identity through critical reflection, acknowledgement, and listening.
