Frequently Asked Questions

What is a”welcome statement”?

A community’s welcome statement is a public document created to specifically welcome “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual/aromantic” (LGBTQIA+) people or “people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions” and a “commitment to racial equity” or “anti-racism.” ReconcilingWorks encourages creativity in this statement so it reflects the diversity and intersectionality of your faith community’s ministry.
