Tom Christofferson is a good friend and one of our favorite people. His ability to connect with people with great warmth, love and empathy is combined with a sharp insight and deep thought about things that are really important. He is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is the author of "That We May Be One: A Gay Mormon's Perspective on Faith and Family" and "A Better Heart: The Impact of Christ's Pure Love", both published by Deseret Book.
Tom has enjoyed a career in institutional asset management and asset servicing with global banks, being based in Europe and the United States. He has served on numerous corporate and non-profit boards with organizations that assist homeless families, the long-term unemployed to re-enter the workforce and that provide resources to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer people.
Peculiar was co-founded by our friend George Deussen and is an organization dedicated to "inspire, educate and empower parents and families from faith based communities to unconditionally love and embrace their LGBTQ+ children". You can learn more about Peculiar and the great work they do at ThePeculiar.org
We are looking forward to spending this evening with these special people.
The Zoom link will be included in the monthly newsletter.
