Clemson PRISM
Clemson PRISM is a student-led organization focused on LGBTQIA+ inclusion within Christianity.
We gather several times throughout the semester for fun social events, serving as a safe harbor and loving gathering space for LGBTQIA+ students and allies. Each semester, we plan at least one Bible Study to examine Christianity from an inclusive & welcoming point of view.
TO COME HOME TO YOURSELF
May all that is unforgiven in you,
Be released.
May your fears yield
Their deepest tranquilities.
May all that is unlived in you,
Blossom into a future,
Graced with love.

When someone encourages you, that person helps you over a threshold you might otherwise never have crossed on your own. There are times of great uncertainty in every life. Left alone at such a time, you feel dishevelment and confusion like gravity. When a friend comes with words of encouragement, a light and lightness visit you and you begin to find the stairs and the door out of the dark. The sense of encouragement you feel from the friend is not simply her words or gestures; it is rather her whole presence enfolding you and helping you find the concealed door. The encouraging presence manages to understand you and put herself in your shoes. There is no judgement but words of relief and release.

Hey! Are you interested in joining the Prism Exec board?? Our election is happening now! Click the link in our bio for the election form🌈
We will not let this drag us down, especially during Pride Week! 🤍 We sincerely apologize for any harm the altercations on Zoom may have incurred during our guest speaker event with Dr. Jim Dant. We invite you to click the link in our bio (www.clemsonprism.org) for this list of resources and their respective links on our website under the “Events” tab. 🔗🤍🌈
Super excited to share about this event coming up on Sunday, April 10th! We are honored to host Jim Dant, author of “This I Know” to speak in the new on campus chapel for Pride Week. Can’t wait to see y’all there!
Dragging the Church Into the Future is my new fave. I saw it in a dream and it had to be drawn. It's interesting to me that it's the marginalized who put pressure on the Church to change. It wouldn't otherwise. Do you love it too? The original and prints available!
Come read a q***r-affirming liturgy & *optional: share your experience coming out and living openly as a q***r individual with the congregation!
Note: Peace Church is an extremely accepting church part of the United church of Christ (UCC) and also a member of Open And Affirming Coalition, a partnership of UCC Churches that advocates for the LGBTQ+ community specifically.
