Becoming a “Welcoming Congregation”

We are proudly participating in a volunteer program for congregations that want to be more inclusive to bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people. It consists of a series of educational workshops developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association. The goal of the workshops is to reduce prejudice by increasing understanding and acceptance of different sexual orientations. Some of the workshop titles include “How Homophobia Hurts Heterosexuals;” “Connections to Other Forms of Oppression;” “Gender Socialization and Homophobia;” and “Biblical Perspectives on Homosexuality.”
