Seventh-day Adventist Kinship International is a volunteer support organization that champions human rights for all people. We believe everyone is created in the image of God and that no one should be mistreated or discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. Through education, advocacy, and reconciliation, Seventh-day Adventist Kinship International facilitates and promotes the understanding and affirmation of LGBTI Adventists among themselves and within the Seventh-day Adventist community. | ||
