<p>Solidly enjoyed by Dignity members and non-members earlier this year QCF returns this October for a second season of monthly webshows.</p> <p>What is QCF? Live web-interviews with featured guests with real-time questions and conversation from attendees all from the comfort of our homes and computer screens.</p> <p>QCF explores with guests in an intimate way often not experienced in the conference room. Guests&rsquo; spirituality faith and prophetic witness are among the topics probed.</p> <p>We&rsquo;re thrilled to start the new season by welcoming Casey and Mary Ellen Lopata and their son Jim to the screen. The Lopata parents founded &ldquo;Fortunate Families&rdquo; a ministry we think is one of Catholicism&rsquo;s best kept secrets. Fortunate Families brings parents together to support and empower them to advocate for justice for their LGBT daughters and sons. The Lopatas&rsquo; son Jim who is gay has made his own journey of faith in ways that intersect and diverge from his parents&rsquo; prophetic call. Tune in and get to know this fortunate family with us!</p> <p>Queer Catholic Faith w/ guests Mary Ellen and Casey Lopata and son Jim Tuesday October 23 2012 9:00PM Eastern To Register: http://www.instantpresenter.com/WebConference/Default.aspx?ip_ek=dignityusa1</p> <p>Our 2012-2013 QCF Schedule* (through March 2013)</p> <table width=80%> <tbody> <tr> <td width=15%> October 23</td> <td> Fortunate Families founders Casey and Mary Ellen Lopata joined by their gay son Jim.
