The Affirming Congregation Program is an opportunity, a challenge, a hand reaching out. It is for congregations who are ready to begin a dialogue about the concerns of lesbians, bisexual, transgendered and gay men in the United Church and is also about creating an inclusive faith community for all, regardless of age, race, disabilities, language, economic backgrounds, green-and-purple spots, etc.
Please participate in the process of discussions and reflections, in keeping with our Covenant of Harmony. The next steps in the process will be announced soon.
