| The
Gay, Lesbian, and Affirming Disciples
Alliance is an organization of lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgendered, and affirming members of the
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
We are a prophetic voice calling for the full inclusion
of LGBT persons in the Church. We nurture and support one
another. We provide educational resources to the Church on
issues important to LGBT Christians.
We gather annually for fellowship, worship, nurture,
support, and education at the General Assembly of the
Christian Church and in other locations during years when
the Assembly does not meet. We also gather in regional
chapters.
We invite congregations and other manifestations of the
Christian Church to declare themselves Open & Affirming, to
proclaim publicly that LGBT persons are welcome in the life
and leadership of the Church. We work with similar welcoming
congregation programs in other denominations, providing time
and resources to advance this call for inclusion throughout
the whole Church. |
