Declaration of Principles PDF Print E-mail

We envision ourselves as a community that:

  • is empowered through baptism
  • centers its life in worship
  • acts decisively for justice
  • witnesses a prophetic ministry of presence
  • strives as a family to encourage and nurture all who are coming out
  • prays for those who are still in the closet
  • acts assertively in the face of oppression
  • patterns its decision-making processes in the light of a loving gospel and the principles of consensus
  • seeks the guidance of the Holy Spirit to integrate and express our spiritual and sexual selves
  • calls the entire church to be a visible proponent of justice for all gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people.
