"On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
 Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
 What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
 As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
 Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
 In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
 'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
 O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"
  -- second verse of "Defence of Fort M'Henry" (better known as "The Star Spangled Banner") by Francis Scott Key (b. 1779-08-01, d. 1843-01-11) He started writing it 1814-09-14 and finished it shortly thereafter. First published 1814-09-17.

It's Sunday, so our weekly queerness-and-faith chat is happening this evening (this afternoon for folks on the West Coast) over on Twitter. This is a gathering of religious TLGBQ people (all faiths invited), to discuss various topics. This week we're going to start out by talking about faith and gender roles.

To listen in, point your web browser at Twitter and search for the #qfaith hashtag. To join the conversation, you'll need a Twitter account, and just include "#qfaith" in each of your tweets that's meant to go to the whole group.

We start at 6:00 PM Eastern Time - 3:00 PM Pacific Time - 11:00 PM British Summer Time, and usually go on for an hour to an hour and a half, occasionally a little longer.
