Reconciling Sunday

Worship Service
Sunday, May 3,
at 10:15 a.m.

Join Christ Church as we celebrate our 3rd Anniversary of becoming a Reconciling Congregation. We will affirm the full inclusion of our LGBT members & friends, with special musical guests the Denver Women’s Chorus and special guest preacher Rev. Malcolm Himschoot.

Rev. Malcolm Himschoot completed his undergraduate study at Amherst College and then went on to get his Masters of Divinity from Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado.

Malcolm was ordained into the United Church of Christ in 2004, serving an inner-city ecumenical ministry in Denver. He also served as Associate Minister for Outreach at Plymouth Congregational Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota for a period of time. In addition, he served as interim Open and Affirming Coordinator for the United Church of Christ Coalition for LGBT Concerns, during an important period of transition for the program.

Malcolm's work is focused on the transformation and wholeness of Christian communities across society’s dividing lines. Over the course of his final two years in seminary he took part in filming the documentary Call Me Malcolm where he openly discussed his transition from female to male along with his personal faith journey. In conjunction with that film, he has spoken at churches, colleges, and universities around the country.

Malcolm and his partner Mariah welcomed twins into their family in January 2008. While Malcolm has now shifted much of his time towards fathering his children, he continues to do occasional presentations on transgender concerns.
