Ted Swartz’s Newest Show, Listening for Grace, Comes to First United Methodist Church of Valparaiso on April 8, 2015

United-Methodist-Church-LogoIn Listening for Grace, Ted Swartz uses his distinctive humor to give voice to our fears and hopes when a faith community engages in questions around sexuality and same-sex relationships. It’s about a father’s journey, a church’s struggle and a search for commonality.

Listening for Grace follows the story of a widowed father whose son has just come out as gay. Through his relationships with his son, an estranged cousin, people in his church, and a pastor who deals with issues of sexuality in the Bible, the main character is challenged by many different viewpoints and experiences. It’s a piece about church. It’s a piece about fatherhood. It’s a piece about community. It’s a piece about our sexuality. And it’s an entertaining and enlightening piece about openness and love.

The show is free and open to the public.
