(Español abajo) Join us for the 2026 Pride Forum featuring Dr. Robert F. Reid-Pharr, Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University, as he reflects on faith and the voice of James Baldwin.

He will explore the idea of a “civic faith” and Baldwin’s call toward “communal belonging,” engaging themes of race, religion, sexuality, democracy, belonging, and the crossing of boundaries—drawing insight from Baldwin’s life and enduring relevance today.

Saint Peter’s Church hosts this forum as part of our commitment to celebrating the resilience and vitality of people of faith, especially uplifting the witness of LGBTQIA+ communities in a time of civic challenge.

This year, in partnership with Central Synagogue and St. Bart’s, we gather to learn, reflect, and deepen our shared sense of communal presence. Spanish translation of Dr. Reid-Pharr’s remarks will be available.

Únete al Pride Forum 2026 con el Dr. Robert F. Reid-Pharr, profesor de Análisis Social y Cultural en la Universidad de Nueva York, quien reflexionará sobre la fe y la voz de James Baldwin.

Explorará la idea de una “fe cívica” y el llamado de Baldwin hacia la “pertenencia comunitaria”, abordando temas de raza, religión, sexualidad, democracia, pertenencia y el cruce de fronteras, a partir de la vida de Baldwin y su relevancia en el presente.

Saint Peter’s Church organiza este foro como parte de su compromiso de celebrar la resiliencia y vitalidad de las personas de fe, especialmente elevando la voz de las comunidades LGBTQIA+ en un tiempo de desafío cívico.

Este año, en colaboración con Central Synagogue y St. Bart’s, nos reunimos para aprender, reflexionar y profundizar nuestro sentido de presencia comunitaria.

Las palabras del Dr. Reid-Pharr estarán disponibles en traducción al español.
