11月迷你真人圖書館:彩虹牧師 - 圓滿進行!



11月迷你真人圖書館:彩虹牧師 星期四晚已於家家學堂圓滿進行!謝謝來擔任真人圖書的卜莎崙牧師 (Grace) 及一眾用心閱讀的讀者!

讀書前,有讀者說不知這本是「驚嚇小說」還是「愛情小品」。又認為「牧師」和「同志」是兩個拉不上關係的矛盾身份。

讀書後,他們發現這本是「人物傳記」,更令人對基督教有新認識。提醒我們世界在改變,不應隨便評價人的價值。「她」是甚麼?這不是由我論定的。

11月迷你真人圖書館:彩虹牧師


卜莎崙 (Grace)

她,是同志,也是牧師。
成長於牧師世家,感召令她決心事奉基督。
年幼已自知是女同志,卻曾希望信仰能夠「拗直」自己。
出櫃前,她與丈夫和女兒一起生活。
直至遇上另一個她後,她尋回自己的性取向,毅然離開家庭及出櫃。

現在,她是眾樂教會的牧師。最大心願是眾樂教會能成為「無牆教會」,接納所有人(同志、邊緣人士、性工作者等)一同崇拜。

她說故事,她有力量!She Tells Story, She Has Strength !

(按圖進入相簿 Click to visit full photo album)

2月21日下午,HER真人圖書館2016己順利於香港理工大學舉行。活動吸引得超過100名讀者、義工及媒體朋友參與,身體力行 Read‧Feel‧Act!

活動開始時,真人圖書大使葉蘊儀小姐 (Gloria Yip) 分享,自已從十三歲起拍廣告,演藝活躍期實際只得八年,今年四十二歲,其間做過不同的工作,卻一直標籤為「藝人」,今天是以一位香港人、一位母親、及一位藝術創作者的身份參加活動。她説唸藝術時已開始關注女權議題,並分享她關於女藝人著作的書寫過程。

而在與七位邊緣女性化身的「真人圖書」進行對話後,「讀者」們皆有深刻的讀後感:

• 「很深刻Terry所講『性別』、『性別認同』、『性取向』及『性格』之不同區分及組合。」── 跨性別人士圖書讀者

• 「性工作亦是一份工作,有辛酸、有快樂、有得著、有滿足;提高自己做事的動機。當時背後選擇這份工有很多原因,但工作期間、後所得到的亦值得比人重視。」── 一樓一性工作者圖書讀者

• 「照顧者的確是一份吃力不討好,有苦自己知的工作,唯有社會大眾對照顧者營造更多欣賞的風氣,並促進家庭男女分工,才能避免大部分的女性照顧者獨力承擔此責任。」── 基層照顧者圖書讀者

最後,不少讀者化感動為行動,加入成為「HER Readers Club」成員,和HER Fund一同推動性別人權工作。請期待讀者會未來的搞作!;)

HER Human Library 2016 was successfully organized on 21 Feb 2016. The event attracted over 100 readers, volunteers, and media friends to join. We all together put “Read‧Feel‧Act” into practice !

Gloria Yip, the Human Book Ambassador shared her life story at the openning: She started her career in the entertainment industry at the age of 13 and active for 8 years since then. She is now 42 years old, experienced a few career changes, but she always labeled as “artiste”. “But I am also a Hong Konger, a mother, and an art creator ! ” Gloria stressed on her other identities and encouraged participants to understand the human book in a multi-dimensional manner. She recalled that she started to concern about feminist issues when she studied Arts Education and shared her writing on women artists’ actions for social justice.

After the reading sessions with 7 marginalized women “Human Books”, the readers had the following post-reading thoughts:

• “ Am very impressed by the idea mentioned by Terry, that ’sex’, ‘gender identity’, ‘sexual orientation’, and ‘personality’ can be four different things. ” – Reader of “Transgender” Human Book.

• “Sex work is a work. It has its bitterness, happiness, takeaway, and satisfaction; It can also be a motivation. There are many reasons behind their choice, but they all deserve greater recognition and respect. ” – Reader of “One-Woman Brothel Sex Worker” Human Book.

• “Carer is a tough job, suffer in silence. Only if more people admire their contribution and to promote equal share of housework, women carer will continue to bear the responsibility alone. ” Reader of “Grassroots Carer” Human Book.

After the post-reading sharing sessions, many readers joined as “HER Readers’ Club” member to promote gender equality and human rights work with HER Fund. Please stay tuned on their actions in the near future !
