UCF Members Attend “Love One Another” Symposium at ECU

On Saturday, March 16th , several members of UCF traveled to Greenville to attend the “Love One Another” Symposium, subtitled “Share the Light – A Regional Faith Symposium on LGBTQ Inclusivity”. Rev. Micah Ma was one of the Keynote Speakers and they and member Jason Pesch also were leaders of two of the workshops. The Symposium was organized by Mark Rasdorf, Director of the Dr. Jesse R. Peel LGBTQ Center at ECU. The symposium was excellent with great speakers and workshops, great food and lots of opportunities to network.
