Jesus said that the greatest commandment was to love one another and love our neighbors as ourselves. This is an important lesson when thinking about the role of our faith communities in ending the violence, fear, discrimination and rejection that many LGBT people experience.
It’s in this spirit that we are pleased to launch our latest resource, “A Christian Conversation Guide: Creating Safe and Inclusive Spaces for People who are LGBT.” Focused on Christian congregations, this guide provides practical suggestions for building safe and inclusive faith communities and congregations. Included in the guide is a step-by-step conversation guide for small group discussions on the health and well-being of LGBT people; a list of actions faith communities can immediately take in their congregation and communities; as well as a comprehensive glossary of useful terms when talking about sexual orientation and gender identity.
